Abstract

Light is important for growth, development and morphogenesis of plants. As an abiotic stress, low light significantly affects the biosynthesis and metabolism of plant hormones and results in changes of their levels and signal transduction. The article reviews the recent progress of low light on the content, biosynthesis and signal transduction of auxin, cytokinin, ethylene, abscisic acid, gibberellin, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid, respectively, and prospects the future research directions, which are helpful for elucidation of low light response mechanism in plants.
