Plants that are close together do everything they can to intercept light. This “shade avoidance” response has been extensively researched. It is therefore even more remarkable that researchers from the laboratory of Molecular Biology at Wageningen University have discovered another entirely new mechanism: the important role of the hormone cytokinin.
