Photoperiodic response of hypocotyl elongation
Background:
Other processes, like flowering (Suarez-Lopez et al., 2001), are photoperiod dependent

The PHYB and GA mediated
pathways
Background:
PHYB senses light and directly interacts with PIF4/5 (Huq and Quail, 2002).
Gibberellin has a light-mediated impact on hypocotyl elongation (Nozue and Maloof, 2006).

The PHYB and GA mediated
pathways
phyB mediated hypocotyl
elongation is only partly
dependent on PIF4/5.
GA mediated hypocotyl
elongation is dependent on
PIF4/5.

The Circadian Clock
Hypothesis: The circadian clock is the mechanism behind the non-linear hypocotyl
elongation in different photoperiods.
Background:
Hypocotyl elongation happens diurnally at predawn (Nozue et al., 2007) and the circadian
clock is known to control PIF expression (Fujimori et al., 2004).

is additive, so these pathways
