Abstract excerpt
Shade-avoidance syndrome is characterized by the formation of elongated petioles and unexpanded leaf blades under low-intensity light, but the genetic basis for these responses is unknown. In this study, two-dimensional mutational analysis revealed that the gene for phytochrome B, PHYB, had opposing effects in the leaf petioles and leaf blades of Arabidopsis, while the ROT3, ACL2, and GAI genes influenced the...
