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 …

Plants are sessile and photo-autotrophic; their entire life cycle is thus strongly influenced by
the ever-changing light environment. In order to sense and respond to those fluctuating …

Light and temperature change constantly under natural conditions and profoundly affect
plant growth and development. Light and warmer temperatures promote flowering, higher …

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

As sessile organisms, plants modulate their growth rate and development according to the
continuous variation in the conditions of their surrounding environment, an ability referred to …

The responses of plants to the light environment have fascinated biologists for well over 100
years (Briggs, 2006). Early studies in photomorphogenesis focused necessarily on …

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 …

Light has a profound effect on plant growth and development. Red and blue light best drive
photosynthetic metabolism, so it is no surprise that these light qualities are particularly …

Through photosynthesis, light provides the energy source for plants and, ultimately, for all
living organisms. In response to a fluctuating environment, the nonmotile plant must be able …

Integrating important environmental signals with intrinsic developmental programmes is a
crucial adaptive requirement for plant growth, survival, and reproduction. Key environmental …
