The plasticity of plant morphology has evolved to maximize reproductive fitness in response
to prevailing environmental conditions. Leaf architecture elaborates to maximize light …

Light is crucial for plant life, and perception of the light environment dictates plant growth,
morphology, and developmental changes. Such adjustments in growth and development in …

Plant productivity and product quality ultimately are dependent on an interaction between
genetics and environment, and one of the most important environmental cues is light. Light …

In the mission of plant husbandry, light is a critical yet passive entity. The potential to actively
implement dynamic lighting strategies to control plant growth and development holds great …

For many growers, established and newcomers, the determination of the optimal light
spectrum for growing crops can be challenging and highly dependent on crop species and …

Photons are simultaneously an energy source for plant growth and a signal for development.
Through photosynthesis, plants convert photon energy into chemical energy powering life …

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 …

The pleasant green appearance of plants, caused by their reflectance of wavelengths in the
500–600 nm range, might give the impression that green light is of minor importance in …

Artificial lighting systems have tremendously aided the provision of efficient energy for
photosynthesis in crop plants but these are seldom fine-tuned to optimally regulate plant …

Light is a potent regulator of plant growth and development, impacting gene expression to
global physiology and metabolism. Plants sense a broad range of wavelengths, from UV to …
