The new findings, published in the journal Science, show that phytochromes control genetic switches in response to temperature as well as light to dictate plant development.

发表在《科学》杂志上的新发现表明，光敏色素控制基因开关以响应温度和光来控制植物发育。

Many wild turtles lay eggs in the spring in response to temperature and light cycle changes; that's why we see so many turtles out on the roads when warmer weather hits.
