Light quantity (intensity and photoperiod) and quality (spectral composition) affect plant
growth and physiology and interact with other environmental parameters and cultivation …

The present review draws together wide-ranging studies performed over the last decades
that catalogue the effects of artificial-light-at-night (ALAN) upon living species and their …

Light-emitting diode (LED) technology has rapidly advanced the past years and it is
nowadays irrevocably linked with controlled-environment agriculture (CEA). We provide …

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 …

Light spectra significantly influence plant metabolism, growth and development. Here, we
review the effects of monochromatic blue, red and green light compared to those of …

Ultra-violet (UV) and blue radiations are perceived by plants through several
photoreceptors. They regulate a large range of processes throughout plant life. Along with …

By definition, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) includes wavelengths between 400
and 700 nm and thus, far-red radiation (FR, 700–800 nm) is excluded when the …

Plant development and physiology are strongly influenced by the environmental light
spectrum that triggers and controls several functional and structural response in plants …

Shading by sunlit leaves causes a low red (R) to far-red (FR) ratio that results in a low
phytochrome stationary state (PSS). A low PSS induces an array of shade avoidance …

Abstract Ultraviolet-B radiation (280–315 nm), perceived by the plant photoreceptor UVR8,
is a key environmental signal that influences plant growth and development and can reduce …
