Iglesias M, Costigliolo Rojas C, Bianchimano L, Legris M, Schon J, Gergoff Grozeff G, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Oct; 121(42):e2320187121. PMID: 39382994
Canopy shade enhances the activity of PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs) to boost auxin synthesis in the cotyledons. Auxin, together with local PIFs and their positive regulator CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1),...

Sellaro R, Durand M, Aphalo P, Casal J
J Exp Bot . 2024 Aug; 76(3):712-729. PMID: 39101508
In the field, plants face constantly changing light conditions caused by both atmospheric effects and neighbouring vegetation. This interplay creates a complex, fluctuating light environment within plant canopies. Shade-intolerant species...

Casal J, Murcia G, Bianchimano L
Annu Rev Genet . 2024 Jul; 58(1):135-158. PMID: 38986032
Plants are exposed to temperature conditions that fluctuate over different time scales, including those inherent to global warming. In the face of these variations, plants sense temperature to adjust their...

Cagnola J, DAndrea K, Rotili D, Mercau J, Ploschuk E, Maddonni G, et al.
Plant J . 2023 Dec; 117(6):1856-1872. PMID: 38113327
The yield of maize (Zea mays L.) crops depends on their ability to intercept sunlight throughout the growing cycle, transform this energy into biomass and allocate it to the kernels....

Quint M, Delker C, Balasubramanian S, Balcerowicz M, Casal J, Castroverde C, et al.
Trends Plant Sci . 2023 Aug; 28(10):1098-1100. PMID: 37574427
In 1998, Bill Gray and colleagues showed that warm temperatures trigger arabidopsis hypocotyl elongation in an auxin-dependent manner. This laid the foundation for a vibrant research discipline. With several active...

Bianchimano L, De Luca M, Borniego M, Iglesias M, Casal J
J Exp Bot . 2023 Jul; 74(22):7015-7033. PMID: 37422862
Twenty-five years ago, a seminal paper demonstrated that warm temperatures increase auxin levels to promote hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here we highlight recent advances in auxin-mediated thermomorphogenesis and identify...

Casal J
Curr Biol . 2023 Jan; 33(1):R25-R27. PMID: 36626859
When neighbouring competitors shade the tip of a leaf, differential growth at the other end of the organ elevates its position to avoid shade. A new study elucidates how waves...

Casal J, Fankhauser C
Plant Physiol . 2023 Jan; 191(3):1475-1491. PMID: 36617439
When exposed to changes in the light environment caused by neighboring vegetation, shade-avoiding plants modify their growth and/or developmental patterns to access more sunlight. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), neighbor cues...

Nieto C, Catalan P, Luengo L, Legris M, Lopez-Salmeron V, Daviere J, et al.
Sci Adv . 2022 Aug; 8(33):eabp8412. PMID: 35984876
As the summer approaches, plants experience enhanced light inputs and warm temperatures, two environmental cues with an opposite morphogenic impact. Key components of this response are PHYTOCHROME B (phyB), EARLY...

Costigliolo Rojas C, Bianchimano L, Oh J, Romero Montepaone S, Tarkowska D, Minguet E, et al.
Dev Cell . 2022 Jul; 57(16):2009-2025.e6. PMID: 35901789
Under adverse conditions such as shade or elevated temperatures, cotyledon expansion is reduced and hypocotyl growth is promoted to optimize plant architecture. The mechanisms underlying the repression of cotyledon cell...
