Abstract

Transcription of the ST2A gene is induced at the end of night under specific light and temperature conditions.

  • Plant growth is enhanced by specific photoperiod and temperature conditions.
  • The circadian clock plays a role in regulating plant architecture, including hypocotyl elongation.
  • Phytochrome interacting transcription factors PIF4 and PIF5 are activated under short photoperiod or high temperature.
  • Auxin biosynthesis and signal transduction are downstream targets of the circadian clock and PIF4/PIF5 mechanisms.
  • Brassinosteroid and gibberellic acid promote hypocotyl elongation, while cytokinin and jasmonic acid have an opposite effect.
