• The authors believe that exploring the regulatory mechanisms between the light environment, plant growth, and sugar metabolism will be an effective economic strategy to guide plant breeding and production practices.
• Red and blue light regulate plant growth and development by influencing root, stem, leaf, flower, and fruit growth, seed germination, water and mineral absorption, photosynthetic pigments, stomatal formation, and sugar metabolism, as reported by Park and Jeong (2023), Bueno and Vendrame (2024), Vatistas et al. (2024), and Wang et al. (2024b).
• Light intensity, photoperiod, and light quality are regulatory factors that influence plant growth, development, and sugar metabolism, including effects on cell wall composition, starch granules, sucrose synthesis, and vascular bundle formation.
• Light regulates the process of sugar metabolism in plants, which helps to improve growth, development, adaptability, and resistance to environmental stresses.
• The review article titled 'The role of light in regulating plant growth, development and sugar metabolism: a review' was published in Frontiers in Plant Science on January 7, 2025, by authors Wu W, Chen L, Liang R, Huang S, Li X, Huang B, Luo H, Zhang M, Wang X, and Zhu H.
