A phosphorylation switch turns a positive regulator of phototropism into an inhibitor of the process

Light conditions modify plant growth and development via photoreceptors such as phototropins. Here the authors show that while phot1 promotes phototropism under low light, it can act to suppress phototropism in high-light environments through phosphorylation of PKS4.
