This project investigates how plants perceive low red to far-red light ratios, which triggers growth at the expense of defense against pathogens. By studying the role of the TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN kinase in this process, the research aims to enhance our understanding of plant responses to shade and improve crop resilience…
In close proximity, plants can sense each others presence via a decrease in the red to far-red light ratio (low R:FR) in the nearby surroundings.
Low R:FR perception by phytochrome photoreceptors triggers strong and rapid elongation growth allowing plants to grow taller than their neighbors and reach better lit areas.
This process, known as shade avoidance is mostly orchestrated by the growth hormone auxin.
However, although low R:FR promotes elongation growth, it compromises plant defense again…
