Phytochrome-mediated inhibition of shade avoidance involves degradation of growth-promoting bHLH transcription factors. (2007, background): “FR light suggested that PIF4 and PIF5 protein levels may be controlled by a phytochrome low-fluence response (Quail, 2002; Smith, 2000).”
Tolerance vs. avoidance: two strategies of soybean (Glycine max) seedlings in response to shade in intercropping (2015, neutral): “For shade avoidance, plants often increase stem and hypocotyl elongation rates at the expense of leaf growth and the elongated hypocotyl is often seen as an indicator of shade avoidance (Ballaré 1999, Smith 2000, Franklin and Whitelam 2005, Vandenbussche et al. 2005, Casal 2012).”
Phenotypic plasticity: linking molecular mechanisms with evolutionary outcomes (2002, background): “The phytochrome genes encode a family of chromo protein photoreceptors with crucial functions in the acclimation of plants to their natural environment ( Smith 1995, 2000 ).”
Functional significance of photoblastic germination in neotropical pioneer trees: a seed's eye view (2003, background): “The discrepancy between these results may have been caused by the short (10 days) light exposure followed by darkness in the latter experiment (Vázquez-Yanes et al. 1990) during which production of and reversion to the inactive form of phytochrome would occur (Smith 2000).”
The ecological impacts of nighttime light pollution: a mechanistic appraisal (2013, background): “The phytochrome system plays a key role in detecting shade and measuring day length, and has been shown to influence vegetative growth and architecture, the timing of germination, flowering, bud burst and dormancy and senescence, and the allocation of resources to roots, stems and leaves (Smith, 200”
Ferns diversified in the shadow of angiosperms (2004, neutral): “An unconventional photoreceptor, phytochrome 3 ( PHY3”
PLANT HORMONES REGULATE FAST SHOOT ELONGATION UNDER WATER: FROM GENES TO COMMUNITIES (2004, background): “These signals, perceived by phytochrome proteins, generate longer stems and petioles in a large number of plant species as part of the shade avoidance response (Schmitt et al. 1999, Smith 2000).”
Canopy effects on vegetation caused by harvesting and regeneration treatments (2010, background): “Phytochromes are clearly involved in these responses to shade (Smith 2000; Ballaré 1999).”
Growth of Impatiens, Petunia, Salvia, and Tomato Seedlings under Blue, Green, and Red Light-emitting Diodes (2014, background): “Therefore, the stem elongation inhibition in this study can likely be attributed to the B light-stimulated cryptochrome receptors (Liu et al., 2011a; Takemiya et al., 2005; Wang et al., 2013).”
Defoliation, Shoot Plasticity, Sward Structure and Herbage Utilization in Pasture: Review of the Underlying Ecophysiological Processes (2015, background): “Besides its role in plant photosynthesis, light also impacts plant morphogenesis as a source of light signals [31–34].”
Physiology and molecular biology of stress tolerance in plants (2006, background): “This was demonstrated for wheat where inhibition of non-directional Na+ influx occurred following the addition of external Ca2+ (Reid and Smith, 2000).”
