At high vegetation density, shade-intolerant plants sense a reduction in the red
(660 nm) to far-red (730 nm) light ratio (R/FR) in addition to a general
reduction in light intensity. These light signals trigger a spectrum of
morphological changes manifested by growth of stem-like tissue (hypocotyl,
petiole, etc.) instead of harvestable organs (leaves, fruits, seeds,
etc.)-namely, shade avoidance syndrome (SAS). Common phenotypical changes related
to SAS are changes in leaf hyponasty, an increase in hypocotyl and internode
elongation and extended petioles. Prolonged shade exposure leads to early
flowering, less branching, increased susceptibility to insect herbivory, and
decreased seed yield. Thus, shade avoidance significantly impacts on agronomic
traits. Many genetic and molecular studies have revealed that phytochromes,
cryptochromes and UVR8 (UV-B photoreceptor protein) monitor the changes in light
intensity under shade and regulate the stability or activity of
phytochrome-interacting factors (PIFs). PIF-governed modulation of the expression
of auxin biosynthesis, transporter and signaling genes is the major driver for
shade-induced hypocotyl elongation. Besides auxin, gibberellins,
brassinosteroids, and ethylene are also required for shade-induced hypocotyl or
petiole elongation growth. In leaves, accumulated auxin stimulates cytokinin
oxidase expression to break down cytokinins and inhibit leaf growth. In the young
buds, shade light promotes the accumulation of abscisic acid to repress
branching. Shade light also represses jasmonate- and salicylic acid-induced
defense responses to balance resource allocation between growth and defense. Here
we will summarize recent findings relating to such hormonal regulation in SAS in
Arabidopsis thaliana, Brassica rapa, and certain crops.
