Approaches to describe the shade avoidance response genetic network 05-16-07
Sun (R/FR)=2.3 Shade (R/FR)=0.6 the shade avoidance response • produced by: surrounding vegetation • symptoms: elongation of stem and petioles upward orientation of leaves reduced branching early flowering

Who is the responsible for the variation in the shade avoidance response

alternative ways of building networks: quantitative trait locus analysis (QTL analysis)
14428 genes my QTL analysis • Traits • leaves 4 and 6: • total length • blade length • blade width • petiole length • leaf angle • bolting time • rosette diameter • flowering time • number of leaves • hypocotyl length • internode length
