Plants have sophisticated mechanisms for sensing neighbor shade. To maximize their ability to compete for light, plants respond to shade through enhanced elongation and physiological changes. The ...

Researchers from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) have discovered a novel molecular pathway that plants use to adjust their growth and flowering to shade. The discovery raises the ...

Salk scientists have defined a new pathway that controls how plants flower in response to shaded, crowded conditions, and their findings may have implications for increasing yield in crops ranging ...
