Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Sugar inhibited BR signaling in light-grown Arabidopsis seedlings.
- Intervention effect Increasing sucrose inhibited BR-induced hypocotyl elongation in light-grown seedlings.
- Association Sugar inhibition correlated with a reduced BR effect on BZR1 dephosphorylation.
- Observation Sugar effect was independent of HXK1.
- Mechanism The sugar effect required BIN2.
- Intervention effect Sugar stabilized BIN2.
- Mechanism Authors suggest light-dependent sugar-BR crosstalk helps optimize growth responses to photosynthate availability.
