We are delighted that we could contribute to the development of PULSE, the first transcriptional switch, which allows optogenetic manipulation in plants that are grown under ambient white light. It was a great collaboration with the Zurbriggen lab (CEPLAS/University of Düsseldorf, Germany). More to come.
