Phytochromes and shade-avoidance responses in plants.
Authors
Franklin, Keara A; Whitelam, Garry C
Abstract
The ability to detect and respond to the impending threat of shade can confer significant selective advantage to plants growing in natural communities. This Botanical Briefing highlights (a) the regulation of shade-avoidance responses by endogenous and exogenous factors and (b) current understanding of the molecular components involved in red to far-red ratio signal transduction.
