The power of molecular genetics has dramatically advanced our understanding of all
aspects of gibberellin (GA) signaling. Many genes encoding GA response pathway …

The threat to plant survival presented by light limitation has driven the evolution of highly
plastic adaptive strategies to either tolerate or avoid shading by neighbouring vegetation …

The Arabidopsis thaliana hypocotyl is widely used to study the effects of light and plant
growth factors on cell elongation. To provide a framework for the molecular-genetic analysis …

▪ Abstract The recent impressive progress in research on gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis has
resulted primarily from cloning of genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes and studies with GA …

Light passing through or reflected from adjacent foliage provides a developing plant with
information that is used to guide specific genetic and physiological processes. Changes in …

▪ Abstract Light control of plant development is most dramatically illustrated by seedling
development. Seedling development patterns under light (photomorphogenesis) are distinct …

Survival of temperate‐zone tree species under the normal summer‐winter cycle is
dependent on proper timing of apical growth cessation and cold acclimatization. This timing …

Germination of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seed is regulated by phytochrome. The
requirement for red light is circumvented by the application of gibberellin (GA). We have …

Plants can sense neighbour competitors through light‐quality signals and respond with
shade‐avoidance responses. These include increased shoot elongation, which enhances …

Plant growth and development are regulated by interactions between the environment and
endogenous developmental programs. Of the various environmental factors controlling plant …
