Project description

De-etiolation and photomorphogenesis of plants is characterized in part by inhibition of hypocotyl elongation. The regulation of hypocotyl elongation in Arabidopsis is dependent on the hormones auxin, ethylene and brassinosteroids. By mutant analysis and molecular tools, the interaction between light signaling and hormonal pathyways is studied.
