“…The low R:FR light signal inactivates PhyB, and thus will keep the main PIFs acting in SAS (PIF4, PIF5, and PIF7) active Li et al, 2012) and the production of growth-promoting hormones such as auxin, BR, GA, and ET high Bou-Torrent et al, 2014). In young seedlings, the SAS consists of a delay of some aspects of photomorphogenesis (hypocotyl growth arrest, cotyledon expansion, root development, pigment accumulation), and promotes cotyledon petiole elongation and upward cotyledon positioning (for review, see Ballaré and Pierik, 2017;Fiorucci and Fankhauser, 2017). In dense canopies, the emission of all kinds of volatile compounds increases, and they accumulate due to reduced airflow (Kegge et al, 2013).…”
