A molecular framework for light and gibberellin control of cell elongation
Article Abstract:
The importance of the Arabidopsis thaliana nuclear transcription factor, PIF4 (phytochrome interacting factor 4) in controlling the genes mediating cell elongation is presented. The findings show that the plants utilize light, as well as the gibberellin signals to vary the growth according to the environmental changes.

Time for growth
Article Abstract:
The growth kinetics of the plant seedlings demonstrates that the signaling pathways are controlled by the plant's circadian clock, as well as the light. The results show that the seedlings with specific defects in the light perception have very weak growth rhythms.

Rhythmic growth explained by coincidence between internal and external cues
Article Abstract:
The study focuses various interactions that show that the coordination between physiological and developmental processes help in controlling other processes. The coincidence between the internal and external cues in plants explains the rhythmic growth of plants.
