Long, robust hypocotyls are important for facilitating greenhouse transplant production. The use of far-red light at the end of the day (end-of-day far-red, EOD-FR) is known to prompt hypocotyl elongation, but the mechanism of EOD-FR-mediated hypocotyl elongation in pumpkin remains unclear. Here, we found that hypocotyl length, parenchymal cell size in hypocotyls, and plant IAA levels were significantly greater in pumpkin after EOD-FR treatment. This effect was counteracted by the application of the polar auxin transport inhibitor 1-N-naphthylphthalamic acid. Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis of pumpkin hypocotyls revealed that the expression of auxin-related genes changed significantly after EOD-FR treatment, and the contents of the auxin biosynthetic precursors tryptophan and indole were also significantly higher. Our results show that auxin plays an essential role in EOD-FR-mediated hypocotyl elongation, shed light on the mechanisms of EOD-FR mediated hypocotyl elongation, and provide a theoretical basis for the use of EOD-FR in facility cultivation.
