“…Several PIFs induce de novo synthesis of auxin by directly inducing the expression of auxin biosynthetic genes, including YUCCA8 and YUCCA9 in response to shade (Hornitschek et al, 2012;Li et al, 2012), YUCCA8, TAA1, and CYP79B2 in response to high temperature (Franklin et al, 2011;Sun et al, 2012), and possibly YUCCA8 during growth in diurnal conditions (Nozue et al, 2011). In turn, PIFs are also proposed to regulate auxin signaling by inducing the expression of several AUX/IAA and SAUR genes during deetiolation, shade, diurnal growth, and high-temperature responses (Franklin et al, 2011;Nozue et al, 2011;Hornitschek et al, 2012;Leivar et al, 2012b;Li et al, 2012). Interestingly, IAA19 and IAA29 (Sun et al, 2013), as well as SAUR19 (Franklin et al, 2011), are shown to participate in phototropic and high-temperature responses, respectively, downstream of the PIFs.…”
