LED lighting in greenhouse horticulture : Photosynthesis

, 2022
Light spectrum has a significant impact on a wide variety of plant processes including photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis which in turn impact plant productivity. The choice of supplementary light spectrum in greenhouses is therefore not trivial, and this is especially so given the diverse spectral possibilities afforded by increasingly popular LED ...

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

Modulation of the Tomato Fruit Metabolome by LED Light

Metabolites, 2020
Metabolic profiles of tomatoes change during ripening and light can modulate the activity of relevant biochemical pathways. We investigated the effects of light directly supplied to the fruits on the metabolome of the fruit pericarp during ripening ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

LeTra: a leaf tracking workflow based on convolutional neural networks and intersection over union

Plant Methods
Background The study of plant photosynthesis is essential for productivity and yield. Thanks to the development of high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) facilities, based on chlorophyll fluorescence imaging, photosynthetic traits can be measured in a ...

Zero Deforestation Commitments and Industry 4.0 Enabling Technologies: An Analysis of Their Role in Mitigating Deforestation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of corporate zero‐deforestation commitments (ZDCs) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) enabling technologies in mitigating deforestation. Drawing on data from 110 companies included in the Forest 500 dataset, the research explores whether sustainability commitments and digital innovation influence firms' deforestation ...

Sustainable greenhouse horticulture in Europe

, 2012
The European greenhouse horticulture represents one of the most intensive energy sector in agriculture and strongly contributes to increase the energy and environmental vulnerability within regions having a large greenhouse farming systems. Specifically, the European greenhouse farming sector is facing a trend that responds to the changing consumer’s ...

Board Networks and Corporate Carbon Emissions: A Cross‐Country Analysis of Causal Effects

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether board networks influence corporate carbon emissions and the strategic pathways through which firms decarbonize. Using a sample of 1952 firms across 48 countries from 2003 to 2020, we employ dynamic stacked regressions that exploit exogenous carbon‐regulation shocks affecting firms connected through shared third ...
