Far-red light at levels found in direct sunlight enhances mesophyll conductance and photosynthesis in tomato leaves, but further increases do not produce additional effects.
Blue-enriched light spectra (25B, 75B, 100B) increase mesophyll conductance and photosynthetic rate in cucumber leaves compared to red light, with 75B showing the highest performance.
A sugar flow model predicts that increased fruit temperature reduces tomato fruit weight, with hydraulic conductivity and sugar carrier capacities being key factors.
Exogenous catechin improves nitrogen use efficiency in rice by 28.5% through enhancing ammonium transport and assimilation.
Plants activate complex molecular and cellular mechanisms, including heat shock factors and biomolecular condensates, to acclimate to heat stress, enabling survival under rising temperatures.
Aligning lettuce circadian rhythms with 27-hour light-dark cycles increases biomass by up to 29% in vertical farms without extra energy input.
