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.

R:FR ratio and seed germination,

large-seeded species, with ample food reserves to sustain prolonged seedling growth in darkness (e.g., underground), do not require light for germination.

In all photoperiodic plants,

In the winter when days are short, [P_R] > [P_FR]

In the summer when days are long, [P_R] < [P_FR]

The critical difference is that,

In short-day (i.e., winter flowering) plant species, P_FR inhibits flowering.

In long-day (i.e., summer-flowering) plant species, P_FR induces flowering.

During phytochrome-mediated leaflet closure, the apoplastic pH of the dorsal motor cells (the cells that swell during leaflet closure) decreases, while the apoplastic pH of the ventral motor cells (the cells that shrink during leaflet closure) increases.
