The role of light in regulating plant growth, development and sugar ... frontiersin.org Jan 6, 2025 10 facts
claimIn Arabidopsis thaliana, cryptochromes and phytochromes jointly mediate the regulation of stomata by light signals, and stomatal development is inhibited when mutant plants are irradiated by light of the corresponding wavelengths, which affects water transpiration in the plant.
claimOverexpression of the maize gene ZmPIF1 in rice and Arabidopsis thaliana reduces stomatal opening and closing, decreases the transpiration rate, and reduces water consumption, thereby improving drought tolerance.
referenceSpaninks et al. (2020) conducted a comparative analysis of how red and blue light regulate early plant development in Arabidopsis thaliana and Solanum lycopersicum.
claimJanda et al. studied the growth and stress responses of Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana benthamiana, Glycine max, Solanum tuberosum, and Brassica napus cultivated under polychromatic LEDs in 2015.
referenceSpaninks et al. (2023) found that light quality regulates both apical and primary radial growth in Arabidopsis thaliana and Solanum lycopersicum.
referenceWang et al. (2011) identified a UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) that is involved in cellulose biosynthesis in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
claimIn Arabidopsis thaliana, red LED light accelerates stem growth and development while delaying flowering, whereas blue LED light leads to slower stem growth and development and earlier flowering, according to Spaninks et al. (2020).
claimMulti-color LED lamps are suitable for the indoor cultivation of experimental plants including Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana Benthamiana, Glycine Max, Solanum tuberosum, and Brassica napus, as noted by Janda et al. (2015).
referenceHernandez-Castellano, Galaz-Avalos, Loyola-Vargas, and De-La-Pena published a protocol in 2024 for generating Arabidopsis thaliana cell suspension cultures under different light conditions in the journal Methods in Molecular Biology.
claimThe phytochrome interacting factor PIF4 is essential for the expression of defense genes and disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana, as demonstrated by Gangappa and Kumar (2018).
