To favoring internode elongation is usually reduced leaf area and reduced branching, but at least in the short run this adaptation to canopy shade seems to work.

d-mannose and d-talose are epimers and d-glucose and d-mannose are epimers, whereas d-glucose and d-talose are not epimers but merely diastereomers
