Plants respond to the environmental challenges with changes in the growth patterns that adjust their body form to the prevailing conditions. Following a reductionist approach, we normally investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in the growth response to a given environmental cue under optimal conditions of the other features of the environment. However, plants have to face a complex environment, involving simultaneous cues. The seminar will describe the mechanisms of convergence of environmental cues on the signalling network involved in plant responses to shade from neighbours.
