“…Hypocotyl growth during the dark period is mediated by PIF3 as well as by PIF1, PIF4, and PIF5; the levels of PIFs are coincidentally regulated by the circadian clock and light (Nozue et al, 2007;Leivar et al, 2012a;Soy et al, 2012Soy et al, , 2014. The circadian clock mediates an increase in PIF4 and PIF5 gene expression at the end of the night (Nozue et al, 2007;Leivar et al, 2012a;Soy et al, 2012). In parallel, because of the slow dark reversion rate of phyB (Hennig et al, 1999;Rausenberger et al, 2010), photoactivated phyB persists into the night to inhibit the accumulation of PIFs (Nozue et al, 2007;Soy et al, 2012Soy et al, , 2014.…”
