A model depicting green light influence in far-red-independent shade avoidance responses. Green light signals induce a shaded plant morphology that is independent of cryptochromes and phytochromes A and B. Simultaneously, green signals induce gene expression patterns that resemble those induced by far-red light, except that cryptochrome receptors appear to block the changes in gene expression in the presence of green light and the absence of far-red light. The model shows that multiple light receptors coordinate adaptation to a light environment based on input from several portions of the light spectrum.
