Lights, camera, pectin: Bringing hypocotyl elongation out of the dark
Plant Science Research WeeklyLight is a powerful signal, shaping plant development and growth. However, the cellular mechanisms that translate light signals into precise developmental responses are still being unravelled. The Arabidopsis hypocotyl (the embryonic stem, situated underneath the cotyledons in seedlings) rapidly restricts…
