Phytochromes are bilin-binding photosensory receptors which control development over a
broad range of environmental conditions and throughout the whole plant life cycle. Light …

When exposed to changes in the light environment caused by neighboring vegetation,
shade-avoiding plants modify their growth and/or developmental patterns to access more …

The size of plant organs is highly responsive to environmental conditions. The plant's
embryonic stem, or hypocotyl, displays phenotypic plasticity, in response to light and …

Temperature is a major environmental cue affecting plant growth and development. Plants
often experience higher temperatures in the context of a 24 h day–night cycle, with …

In response to elevated ambient temperature Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings display a
thermomorphogenic response that includes elongation of hypocotyls and petioles …

Sun-loving plants trigger the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) to compete against their
neighbors for sunlight. Phytochromes are plant red (R) and far-red (FR) light photoreceptors …

Plants growing at high densities interact via a multitude of pathways. Here, we provide an
overview of mechanisms and functional consequences of plant architectural responses …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient that affects multiple plant developmental processes,
including flowering. As flowering requires resources to develop sink tissues for reproduction …

The developmental program by which plants respond is tightly controlled by a complex
cascade in which photoreceptors perceive and transduce the light signals that drive …

Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait in plants. Breaking seed dormancy determines the timing
of germination and is, thereby essential for ensuring plant survival and agricultural …
