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

Shoot branching is a highly plastic developmental process in which axillary buds are formed
in the axil of each leaf and may subsequently be activated to give branches. Three classes …

Light drives plant growth and development, so its control is increasingly used as an
environment-friendly tool to manage horticultural crops. However, this implies a …

In the past two decades, members of the SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-
LIKE (SPL) family of transcription factors, first identified in Antirrhinum majus, have emerged …

The presence of neighboring vegetation modifies the light environment experienced by
plants, generating signals that are perceived by phytochromes and cryptochromes. These …

With the discovery of strigolactones as root exudate signals that trigger parasitic weed seed
germination, and then as a branching inhibitor and plant hormone, the next phase of …

Shoot branching patterns result from the spatio-temporal regulation of axillary bud
outgrowth. Numerous endogenous, developmental and environmental factors are integrated …

When exposed to changes in the light environment caused by neighboring vegetation,
shade-avoiding plants modify their growth and/or developmental patterns to access more …

It has been argued that the evolution of plant genome size is principally unidirectional and
increasing owing to the varied action of whole-genome duplications (WGDs) and mobile …

This review presents recent developments in plant photobiology and lighting systems for
horticultural crops, as well as potential applications for cannabis (Cannabis sativa and C …
