Seed persistence is the survival of seeds in the environment once they have reached
maturity. Seed persistence allows a species, population or genotype to survive long after the …

Light passing through or reflected from adjacent foliage provides a developing plant with
information that is used to guide specific genetic and physiological processes. Changes in …

Plant development and physiology are strongly influenced by the environmental light
spectrum that triggers and controls several functional and structural response in plants …

Cryptochromes are photolyase-like blue light receptors originally discovered in Arabidopsis
but later found in other plants, microbes, and animals. Arabidopsis has two cryptochromes …

It is well known that abscisic acid (ABA) plays a central role in the regulation of seed
dormancy and that transcriptional regulation of genes encoding ABA biosynthetic and …

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a central role in seed dormancy and transcriptional regulation of
genes coding for ABA biosynthetic and degradation enzymes is responsible for control of …

To a plant, the sun's light is not exclusively energy for photosynthesis, it also provides a
package of data about time and prevailing conditions. The plant's surroundings may …

Lack of grain dormancy in cereal crops such as barley and wheat is a common problem
affecting farming areas around the world, causing losses in yield and quality because of …

The effects of blue (BL) and green light (GL) treatment during the dark period were
examined in Camellia sinensis as a first step to understanding the spectral effects of artificial …

It is well− established that plants are sessile and photoautotrophic organisms that rely on
light throughout their entire life cycle. Light quality (spectral composition) is especially …
