Photoperiod or daylength affects a diverse set of traits in plants, including flowering and
tuberization in annuals, as well as growth cessation and bud set in perennials. During the …

Several recent reviews highlight the molecular mechanisms that underpin phenological
responses to temperature and photoperiod; however, these have mostly overlooked the …

In woody species cycling between growth and dormancy must be precisely synchronized
with the seasonal climatic variations. Cessation of apical growth, resulting from exposure to …

Plants rely on spectral cues present in their surroundings, generated by the constantly
changing light environment, to guide their growth and reproduction. Photoreceptors mediate …

Intensive ungulate browsing significantly impacts forests worldwide. However, it is usually
not single browsing events that lead to sapling mortality, but the little-researched interactions …

The mechanisms by which different light spectra regulate plant shoot elongation vary, and
phytohormones respond differently to such spectrum-associated regulatory effects. Light …

Phytochromes are red light (R) and far-red light (FR) receptors that play important roles in
many aspects of plant growth and development. Phytochromes mainly function in the …

Conifers are evolutionarily more ancient than their angiosperm counterparts, and thus some
adaptive mechanisms and features influenced by epigenetic mechanisms appear more …

The goal of this study was to examine how different light spectra affect growth and
development of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings …

Vegetative propagation relies on the capacity of plants to regenerate de novo adventitious
roots (ARs), a quantitative trait controlled by the interaction of endogenous factors, such as …
