Signal Crosstalk in the Control of Hypocotyl Elongation in Arabidopsis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover The Expanding Cell

Part of the book series: Plant Cell Monographs ((CELLMONO,volume 6))

Abstract

Since plants are sessile organisms, environmental factors have a strong influence on their development. Hence, there is a need for adaptive mechanisms which integrate the multiple endogenous and environmental signals resulting in the most adequate biological response. Because of its morphological simplicity, the hypocotyl is often used as a model to study signal integration. Hypocotyl extension is a process regulated by a network of interacting signals, including light and hormones. Both are subject to reciprocal regulation, with hormonal factors influencing the biosynthesis and/or signalling of other hormones. In the following chapter, the current state of knowledge on the regulation of hypocotyl growth will be reviewed.
