This project investigates how plants adapt their growth in response to changes in light conditions, specifically focusing on the shade avoidance syndrome. It aims to uncover the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms behind this response, which has implications for agricultural practices.
Plants are sessile photosynthetic organisms, which adapt their growth and development according to their light environment.
The reduction in red/far-red ratio (low R/FR), caused by absorption of red light and reflection of far-red radiation by canopy leaves, signals the proximity of neighboring plants and triggers the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS).
The SAS consists in large changes in plant body form, in particular rapid elongation of selected organs providing enhanced access to sunlight.
