The role of light in regulating plant growth, development and sugar ... frontiersin.org Jan 6, 2025 7 facts
claimPlants adapt to different lighting environments, including photoperiod, light quality, and light intensity, to promote growth according to Zhang et al. (2023) and Shibaeva et al. (2024).
claimLight 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.
claimPlants adjust growth and development by sensing photoperiods to regulate processes such as seed germination, flowering, and fruit ripening, and to adapt to seasonal changes, as documented by Bao et al. (2024), Chen et al. (2024), and Shibaeva et al. (2024).
claimExtended light/dark cycles improve light use efficiency in tomatoes and sweet peppers compared to conventional photoperiods, resulting in lower production costs, according to Shibaeva et al. (2024).
claimLight intensity affects ectoplasm and cell division, light quality affects the proliferation of healing and cultured tissues as well as organ differentiation, and photoperiod affects the differentiation of organ tissues.
claimChoudhury et al. (2008) analyzed the differential transcriptional regulation of the banana sucrose phosphate synthase gene in response to ethylene, auxin, wounding, low temperature, and different photoperiods during fruit ripening.
claimYang J. L., Song J. N., and Jeong B. R. (2024) observed that the flowering and runnering of seasonal strawberry are affected by the intensity of supplemental or night-interrupting blue light under different photoperiods.
A review of climate change impacts on migration patterns of marine ... frontiersin.org Oct 25, 2024 4 facts
referenceBenoit et al. (2010) studied the influence of photoperiod, seal predation, and landfast ice on the diel vertical migrations of polar cod (Boreogadus saida) in the Arctic Ocean.
claimPhotoperiod is the primary environmental cue used by avian species to initiate migratory movements, breeding, and molting.
referencePhotoperiod is the critical element for timing migratory movements in seabirds, allowing mated pairs that migrate and winter apart to synchronize their returns to nest sites, as observed in thick-billed murres (Huffeldt et al., 2024).
claimSeabirds are highly mobile but are restrained by photoperiod and their relatively small body sizes, which limits their ability to use a capital migratory strategy, making them vulnerable to temporal and spatial changes in prey availability.
