Predicting plastic responses is crucial to assess plant species potential to adapt to climate
change, but little is known about which factors drive the biogeographical patterns of …

Plants use photoreceptor proteins to detect the proximity of other plants and to activate
adaptive responses. Of these photoreceptors, phytochrome B (phyB), which is sensitive to …

The dynamic light environment of vegetation canopies is perceived by phytochromes,
cryptochromes, phototropins, and UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8). These receptors …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Plant growth is strongly influenced by the presence of neighbors that compete for light
resources. In response to vegetational shading shade‐intolerant plants such as Arabidopsis …

Two different plant strategies exist to deal with shade: shade avoidance and shade
tolerance. All shade-exposed plants optimize photosynthesis to adapt to the decrease in …

Phenotypic plasticity is considered the major means by which plants cope with
environmental heterogeneity. Although ubiquitous in nature, actual phenotypic plasticity is …

Plants grown at high densities perceive a decrease in the red to far-red (R: FR) ratio of
incoming light, resulting from absorption of red light by canopy leaves and reflection of far …

The threat to plant survival presented by light limitation has driven the evolution of highly
plastic adaptive strategies to either tolerate or avoid shading by neighbouring vegetation …

In intercrop** systems shading conditions significantly impair the seed yield and quality of
soybean, and rarely someone investigated the minimum amount of light requirement for …
