Nocturnal gibberellin biosynthesis is carbon dependent and adjusts leaf expansion rates to variable conditions.

Abstract excerpt

Optimal plant growth performance requires that the presence and action of growth signals, such as gibberellins (GAs), are coordinated with the availability of photo-assimilates. Here, we studied the links between GA biosynthesis and carbon availability, and the subsequent effects on growth. We established that carbon availability, light and dark cues, and the circadian clock ensure the timing and magnitude of GA...
