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 ...

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

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,

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Light signaling differentially regulates the expression of group IV of the B-box zinc finger family

, 2017
Light is an important external signal that affects plant growth and development, such as photomorphogenesis. Transcriptional regulation defines a central regulatory mechanism in photomorphogenesis.

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 ...

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 ...
