The presence of neighbor or overtopping plants is perceived by changes in light quality, which lead to several growth and developmental changes known as shade avoidance syndrome (SAS). Among them, the analysis of hypocotyl elongation is an important SAS physiological output that has been successfully used to investigate photoreceptors and downstream signaling components. Here we describe the experimental setup and growth conditions used to investigate photoreceptors and their signaling mechanisms through the analysis of hypocotyl elongation in laboratory, using simulated low R/FR ratio, low blue light, and true/deep shade conditions.

Ubiquitous to every stratum of life, cryptochromes regulate numerous light dependent functions in terrestrial plants. These include light-dependent transcription, circadian rhythm, inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, programmed cell death, promotion of floral initiation, mediation of gravitropic response, responding to biotic and abiotic stress etc. There have been quite a few seminal reviews including on plant cryptochromes, focusing mostly on the detailed functional aspects.

Phytochrome-interacting factors (PIFs) belong to a subfamily of the bHLH transcription factor family and play a pivotal role in plant light signal transduction, hormone signal pathways, and the modulation of plant responses to various abiotic stresses. The soybean (Glycine max) is a significant food crop, providing essential oil and nutrients. Additionally, it is a vital industrial raw material and a lucrative cash crop.

Circadian clocks facilitate organisms' adaptation to the day-night environmental cycle. Some of the component genes of the clocks ("clock genes") respond directly to changes in ambient light, supposedly allowing the clocks to synchronize to and/or oscillate robustly in the environmental cycle. In the dicotyledonous model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the clock genes CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1), LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY) and PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR 9 (PRR9) show transient expression in response to the morning light.

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant steroid hormones that regulate plant development and environmental responses. BIL1/BZR1, a master transcription factor that regulates approximately 3000 genes in the BR signaling pathway, is transported to the nucleus from the cytosol in response to BR signaling; however, the molecular mechanism underlying this process is unknown. Here, we identify a novel BR signaling factor, BIL7, that enhances plant growth and positively regulates the nuclear accumulation of BIL1/BZR1 in Arabidopsis thaliana.

TANDEM ZINC-FINGER/PLUS3 (TZP) is a nuclear-localized protein with multifaceted roles in modulating plant growth and development under diverse light conditions. The unique combination of two intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), two zinc-fingers (ZFs), and a PLUS3 domain provide a platform for interactions with the photoreceptors phytochrome A (phyA) and phyB, light signaling components, and nucleic acids. TZP controls flowering and hypocotyl elongation by regulating gene expression and protein abundance in a blue, red, or far-red light-specific context.
