The molecular basis of temperature compensation in the Arabidopsis circadian clock. Plant Cell 18 (2006) 1177-1187. This study demonstrates that the central clock components CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED1 (CCA1) and LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY) display altered functional dominance at different temperatures. An additional role for GIGANTEA in temperature compensation is also identified.

This study reveals an intriguing correlation between seedling cotyledon expansion and germination potential. Hormone-regulated responses to light and cold signals in seeds are linked to de-etiolation responses in seedlings.

This study complements published flowering work [29] and reveals phytochrome family members to display altered functional hierarchies at different temperatures. As with flowering, phyB displays dominance at warmer temperatures and phyE at cooler temperatures.

Rapid synthesis of auxin via a new tryptophan-dependent pathway is required for shade avoidance in plants. Cell 133 (2008) 164-176. In this study, the authors clearly demonstrate that elongation responses to the threat of vegetational shade involve rapid auxin synthesis. They additionally identify a novel IAA biosynthetic pathway, catalysed by the aminotransferase TRYPTOPHAN AMINOTRANSFERASE of ARABIDOPSIS 1 (TAA1).

Demonstrations of physical interaction between PIF and DELLA proteins are complemented by elegant chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments.
