Phytohormones regulate numerous important biological processes in plant development
and biotic/abiotic stress response cascades. More than 50 and 100 years have passed since …

At high vegetation density, shade-intolerant plants sense a reduction in the red (660 nm) to
far-red (730 nm) light ratio (R/FR) in addition to a general reduction in light intensity. These …

Plant uses multiple photoreceptors and downstream components to rapidly respond to
dynamic changes in environmental light. Under shade conditions, many species exhibit …

Auxin has emerged as a key player in the adjustment of plant morphology to the challenge
imposed by variable environmental conditions. Shade-avoidance responses, including the …

Leaf senescence is a vital developmental process that involves the orderly breakdown of
macromolecules to transfer nutrients from mature leaves to emerging and reproductive …

Light filtered through dense planting initiates the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) in
plants, which helps them compete against their neighbors. Quantitative trait loci (QTL)-based …

Intercropping improves land utilization with more crops grown together; however, shorter
crops in intercropping experience stress, being shaded by the taller crops. Systematic …

In shade-intolerant plants, the perception of proximate neighbors rapidly induces
architectural changes resulting in elongated stems and reduced leaf size. Sensing and …

Shade and warmth promote the growth of the stem, but the degree of mechanistic
convergence and functional association between these responses is not clear. We analysed …

The availability and intensity of sunlight are among the major factors of growth, development
and metabolism in plants. However, excessive illumination disrupts the electronic balance of …
