Light passing through or reflected from adjacent foliage provides a developing plant with
information that is used to guide specific genetic and physiological processes. Changes in …

Plant development and growth are extremely plastic in response to changes in ambient light
conditions. Light is not only the ultimate energy source for photosynthesis; its physical …

Plants must constantly adapt to a changing light environment in order to optimize energy
conversion through the process of photosynthesis and to limit photodamage. In addition …

Living organisms are subject to fluctuating environmental conditions. Whereas most animals
are able to move away from unfavourable conditions, plants are sessile and so must cope …

▪ Abstract To grow and develop optimally, all organisms need to perceive and process
information from both their biotic and abiotic surroundings. A particularly important …

In vertical farming, plants are grown in multi-layered growth chambers supplied with energy-
efficient LEDs that produce less heat and can thus be placed in close proximity to the plants …

Light and temperature are arguably two of the most important signals regulating the growth
and development of plants. In addition to their direct energetic effects on plant growth, light …

Plants sense many aspects of light in their environment, including its wavelength, duration,
intensity, and direction. This information is used to optimize growth for the ambient light …

Plants have evolved complex and sophisticated transcriptional networks that mediate
developmental changes in response to light. These light-regulated processes include …

▪ Abstract Light control of plant development is most dramatically illustrated by seedling
development. Seedling development patterns under light (photomorphogenesis) are distinct …
