When exposed to changes in the light environment caused by neighboring vegetation,
shade-avoiding plants modify their growth and/or developmental patterns to access more …

Shade tolerance is an ecological concept used in a wide range of disciplines, from plant
physiology to landsca** or gardening. It refers to the strategy of some plants to persist and …

The hypocotyl is the embryonic stem connecting the primary root to the cotyledons.
Hypocotyl length varies tremendously depending on the conditions. This developmental …

Plant cells possess the ability to dedifferentiate and reprogram into stem cell-like
populations, enabling the regeneration of new organs. However, the maintenance of stem …

Plants growing in dense vegetation need to flexibly position their photosynthetic organs to
ensure optimal light capture in a competitive environment. They do so through a suite of …

Secondary metabolites play multiple crucial roles in plants by modulating various regulatory
networks. The biosynthesis of these compounds is unique to each species and is intricately …

Enhancing photosynthesis is a pivotal strategy for achieving sustainable plant production.
Blue and red light facilitate plant growth since these wavelengths are readily absorbed by …

Plants, like many other living organisms, have an internal timekeeper, the circadian clock,
which allows them to anticipate photoperiod rhythms and environmental stimuli to optimally …

The shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) in soybean can have destructive effects on yield, as
essential carbon resources reserved for yield are diverted to the petiole and stem for …

Injured plant somatic tissues regenerate themselves by establishing shoot or root meristems.
In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), a two-step culture system ensures regeneration by …
