Abstract Ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B) radiation and low temperature promote the accumulation of
anthocyanins, which give apple skins their red colour. Although many transcription …

Circadian clocks are endogenous timers that enable plants to synchronize biological
processes with daily and seasonal environmental conditions in order to allocate resources …

Light and temperature patterns are often correlated under natural plant growth conditions. In
this review, we analyse the perception and signalling mechanisms shared by both these …

Excessive accumulation of nitrates in vegetables is a common issue that poses a potential
threat to human health. The absorption, translocation, and assimilation of nitrates in …
