Transparent, Sprayable Plastic Films for Luminescent Down‐Shifted‐Assisted Plant Growth

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
Spreading the light: A modular approach to down‐shifting europium‐containing polyoxotitanium luminescent cages is developed, allowing their incorporation into sprayable plastic coatings on agricultural greenhouses for accelerated plant growth. Abstract The world's steadily growing population and global heating due to climate change are a threat to food

The effect of La Nina on fruits production of three citrus varieties in high land [PDF]

Biotika, 2017
In tropical climates, citrus flowering is controlled primarily by the availability of water (wet-dry). Therefore, the phenomenon of La Nina in 2016 which led to changes in rainfall will definitely affect flowering and fruits production in 2017.

Silencing Sl-EBF1 and Sl-EBF2 expression causes constitutive ethylene response phenotype, accelerated plant senescence, and fruit ripening in tomato [PDF]

, 2010
The hormone ethylene regulates a wide range of plant developmental processes and EBF (EIN3-binding F-box) proteins were shown to negatively regulate the ethylene signalling pathway via mediating the degradation of EIN3/EIL proteins.

Fruit Development in Trillium1 [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1998
AbstractLeaves are the main source of carbon for fruit maturation in most species. However, in plants seeing contrasting light conditions such as some spring plants, carbon fixed during the spring could be used to support fruit development in the summer, when photosynthetic rates are low.
