Table 4 List of gene functions

PAR2

Negative regulator of shade avoidance syndrome responses and transcriptional repressor of SAUR15 and SAUR68 [33].

ARR6

Type-A response regulator, acts as negative regulator of cytokinin signaling [34].

HY5

Transcription factor playing downstream to photoreceptor signaling, promotes photomorphogenesis. It is also involved in root greening and gravitropism [15, 35].

ARF18

Auxin response factor acting as transcriptional repressor for auxin responsive genes [36].

ARF2

Auxin response factor acting as transcriptional repressor for auxin responsive genes [37].

ARF4

Auxin response factor acting as transcriptional repressor for auxin responsive genes [38].

KMD1

Type-A response regulator which targets type-B response regulator and acts as negative regulator of cytokinin signaling [39].

PIF4

Transcription factor playing negatively in phytochrome signaling pathway [40].

IAA7

Auxin inducible gene which negatively regulates auxin signaling [41].

EPR1

Transcriptional factor playing role in PHYA-mediated cotyledon opening and it is regulated by circadian clock [42].

COL3

Zn finger protein which is a positive regulator of red light signaling and photomorphogenesis. Also regulates root and shoot development [43].

SAUR9

Early auxin responsive gene induced on auxin application [44].

SAUR26

Early auxin responsive gene induced on auxin application [45].

LAX2

Auxin influx carrier involved in leaf venation [46].

COL9

CONSTANS like protein, acts as negative regulator of flowering [46].

CIP1

COP1 interaction protein, plays positive role in ABA response [47].

CSN6A

Component of COP 9 signalosome complex regulating ubiquitin conjugation pathway and plays role in repression of photomorphogenesis in dark [48].

CSN6B

Component of COP 9 signalosome complex regulating ubiquitin conjugation pathway and plays role in repression of photomorphogenesis in dark [48].

CCA1

Morning loop gene which functions along with LHY1 and it represses TOC1 [49].

TOC1

Evening complex gene, regulates plant fitness by controlling the clock output through repressing morning and evening loop of circadian clock [50].

PRR9

Temperature sensitive component of circadian clock, interacting with TOC1 [51].
