Light is important for plants as an energy source and a developmental signal, but it can also
cause stress to plants and modulates responses to stress. Excess and fluctuating light result …

In contrast to the primary metabolism, responsible for essential synthesis mechanisms and
mass balance in plants, the secondary metabolism is not of particular importance for each …

Cryptochromes (CRYs) are photoreceptors that mediate light regulation of the circadian
clock in plants and animals. Here we show that CRYs mediate blue-light regulation of N6 …

Light-emitting diode (LED) technology has rapidly advanced the past years and it is
nowadays irrevocably linked with controlled-environment agriculture (CEA). We provide …

Cryptochromes are flavoprotein photoreceptors first identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, where
they play key roles in growth and development. Subsequently identified in prokaryotes …

Plant tissue cultures depend entirely upon artificial light sources for illumination. The
illumination should provide light in the appropriate regions of the electromagnetic spectrum …

Light signals are fundamental to the growth and development of plants. Red and far-red light
are sensed using the phytochrome family of plant photoreceptors. Individual phytochromes …

The primary issues regarding the lack of protocol reproducibility among laboratories are
environmental factors. Light (quantity and particularly quality), is one of those main factors …

Phytochromes are red (R)/far-red (FR) light photoreceptors that play fundamental roles in
photoperception of the light environment and the subsequent adaptation of plant growth and …

▪ Abstract Plants utilize several families of photoreceptors to fine-tune growth and
development over a large range of environmental conditions. The UV-A/blue light sensing …
