Cold stress has always been a significant limitation for plant development and causes
substantial decreases in crop yield. Some temperate plants, such as Arabidopsis, have the …

Background Red (R) and far-red (FR) light distinctly influence phytochrome-mediated initial
tomato growth and development, and more recent evidence indicates that these spectra also …

The phenotypes associated with plant photomorphogenesis such as the suppressed shade
avoidance response and de‐etiolation offer the potential for significant enhancement of crop …

Photoreceptor engineering has recently emerged as a means for improving agronomically
beneficial traits in crop species. Despite the central role played by the red/far‐red …

Although biochemically related, C4 and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) systems are
expected to be incompatible. However, Portulaca species, including P. oleracea, operate C4 …

Proline accumulation in roots and shoots is one of the most evident responses to
environmental stresses such as drought, which is currently one of the main threats for …

Tomatoes, the most cultivated vegetables worldwide, require large amounts of water and are
adversely affected by water stress. Solanum lycopersicum L., cv. Micro-Tom was used to …

Background Phytochromes are plant photoreceptors that have long been associated with
photomorphogenesis in plants; however, more recently, their crucial role in the regulation of …

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a photosynthetic pathway characterized by
nocturnal CO 2 fixation into organic acids followed by their diurnal decarboxylation …

Phytochromes (PHYs) have long been associated with classic photomorphogenic
responses and recently implied with the regulation of plant productivity. We aimed to …
