Gibberellin driven growth in elf3 mutants requires PIF4 and PIF5.

ABSTRACT: The regulatory connections between the circadian clock and hormone signaling are essential to understand, as these two regulatory processes work together to time growth processes relative to predictable environmental events. Gibberellins (GAs) are phytohormones that control many growth processes throughout all stages of the plant life cycle, including germination and flowering. An increasing number of examples demonstrate that the circadian clock directly influences GA biosynthesis and signaling. EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) participates in a tripartite transcriptional complex known as the Evening Complex (EC). In this capacity, ELF3 is fundamental to core circadian clock activity, as well as time-of-day specific regulation of genes directly responsible for growth control, namely the PHYTOCHRO
