Gibberellin and auxin influence the diurnal transcription pattern of photoreceptor genes via CRY1a in tomato.

<h4>Background</h4>Plant photoreceptors, phytochromes and cryptochromes, regulate many aspects of development and growth, such as seed germination, stem elongation, seedling de-etiolation, cotyledon opening, flower induction and circadian rhythms. There are several pieces of evidence of...
