Adaptation to plant shade relies on rebalancing the transcriptional activity of the PIF-HFR1 regulatory module
S. Paulisic, C. Then, B. Alary…·J. Martinez-Garcia
The paper compares shade adaptation mechanisms in Arabidopsis thaliana and Cardamine hirsuta, showing that C. hirsuta's more stable HFR1 protein reduces PIF activity, altering growth responses to light.
