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 warmer, nonstressful average temperatures, some plant organs grow and
develop at a faster rate without affecting their final dimensions. Other plant organs show …

Bidirectional root–shoot signalling is probably key in orchestrating stress responses and
ensuring plant survival. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana responses to microbial root …

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 …

Plants use photoreceptor proteins to detect the proximity of other plants and to activate
adaptive responses. Of these photoreceptors, phytochrome B (phyB), which is sensitive to …

Major strides have been made over the past decade in elucidating the mechanisms that
mediate shade-avoidance responses. The canonical PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING …

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

Light and temperature change constantly under natural conditions and profoundly affect
plant growth and development. Light and warmer temperatures promote flowering, higher …

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 …

Light is a vital resource for plants, which compete for it particularly in dense communities.
Plants have multiple photosensory receptors to detect the presence of competitors and …
