Spotlight and whole-plant far-red enrichment at sub-organ-specific level

In dense stands,the earliest neighbor response is induced by touching,leading to shade avoidance. During light competion the R:FR distribution is not homogenous, leading to local differences in light quality (R:FR) within the same leaf. Hyponasty is induced by FR-signaling in the lamina tip, which then induces local cell growth in the petiole base. Likewise, local touching of the leaf tip induces a similar phenoype.
