A scientific plant-signaling illustration showing a phytochrome receiving red and far-red light, interacting with PIF transcription factors, and connecting to auxin, gibberellin, and brassinosteroid pathways that regulate plant growth.

Shade avoidance is a light-regulated plant response triggered by changes in red and far-red light caused by neighboring vegetation. Discover how phytochromes, PIF transcription factors, plant hormones, and other signaling pathways regulate elongation, branching, flowering, and plant architecture.

PIF transcription factors are key regulators of light-dependent plant development. Learn how PIFs interact with phytochromes, plant hormones, and other signaling pathways to control seedling growth, photomorphogenesis, shade avoidance, seed germination, and plant responses to changing environmental conditions.
