Petiole angles of Arabidopsis plants in response to shade signals. A and B, Petiole angles of Arabidopsis (Col-0) plants in low R/FR (white circles) and green shade (gray circles) compared with plants grown in white light (black circles; unaltered spectral composition). Data points represent means ± se (n = 10). Values were significantly different from each other at all time points measured (5, 8, and 24 h) except at 0 h (P < 0.05, Student’s t test). Error bars are smaller than the symbols depicted. C to E, Representative images showing petiole angles of Arabidopsis plants after 24 h in white light (C), low R/FR (D), and green shade (E).
