Abstract excerpt
Shade avoidance response (S.A.R) is regulated by light and circadian clock. Circadian clock controls S.A.R by the transcriptional regulation of positive regulators of S.A.R, PIF4 and PIF5, to prevent plants from responding to 'light' of dark period. Thus, in many cases, deficits in circadian clock appear in abnormalities of hypocotyl and/or petiole elongation. Previously, interesting phenomena were reported that...
