The molecular mechanism of shade avoidance in crops – How data from Arabidopsis can help to identify targets for increasing yield and biomass production

In order to prevent or counteract shading, plants enact a complex set of growth and developmental adaptations when they sense a change in light quality caused by other plants in their vicinity. This shade avoidance response (SAR) typically includes increased stem elongation at the expense of plant f...
