Agronomic Applications of Light: Spectral Strategies for Crop Growth, Defense, and Postharvest Quality

AgriEngineering
In the past two decades, important progress has allowed a better understanding of how light signals are perceived by plants, not only as a source of energy for photosynthesis but also as environmental cues that modulate growth, development, and stress ...

Interplay between Light and Plant Hormones in the Control of Arabidopsis Seedling Chlorophyll Biosynthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Chlorophyll biosynthesis is one of the most important cellular processes and is essential for plant photosynthesis. After germination under the soil, dark-grown seedlings are etiolated and accumulate the chlorophyll precursor protochlorophyllide (Pchlide)

The Function and Photoregulatory Mechanisms of Cryptochromes From Moso Bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Light is one of the most important environmental factors affecting growth and geographic distribution of forestry plants. Moso bamboo is the largest temperate bamboo on earth and an important non-woody forestry species that serves not only important ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Intermittent Supplemental Irradiation With Blue Light Promotes Leafy Heads in Lettuce

Food and Energy Security
Red and blue lights are the most effective spectral components absorbed by plants and are typically applied in a constant spectrum in plant factory agricultural practices. Research and application of non‐constant light modes are relatively rare.

Post-transcriptional regulation of light-stress responses and predictive modeling in vegetable Solanaceae Crops

Frontiers in Plant Science
Vegetable Solanaceae crops—tomato, pepper, eggplant, and potato—are increasingly cultivated in controlled environments where light is managed both as an energy source and as a developmental and stress-regulatory signal. Programmable spectra, photoperiods,

Signalling in light-controlled development

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 1999
Plants continuously analyze the nature of environmental light signals using an array of at least eight informational photoreceptors, each with differential functional roles. Molecular and genetic studies are identifying an increasing assembly of potential or established signalling intermediates involved in transducing perceived signals from these ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Light at the heart of time: How photoreceptors entrain the circadian clock

Plant Communications
As the primary driver of photosynthesis, light also serves as a crucial environmental cue that directs plant growth and developmental programs. The circadian clock functions as an intrinsic timing mechanism that synchronizes physiological and metabolic ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
