Fragaria ananassa DAM4 expression correlates with vegetative growth during semi-dormancy breaking - Planta
Dormancy-Associated MADS-BOX (DAM)3 and DAM4 have been described as potential regulators of winter dormancy in cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.). These genes are upregulated under shor...

The third chapter of the PhD thesis of Dr. Jordan VB @dr-bluesky.bsky.social is out! We @hortproductphyswur.bsky.social show that dynamic light spectra at different dev stages determine trade-offs between growth & phytochemicals. doi.org/10.1111/ppl.... #PlantScience #Horticulture #VerticalFarming

Dynamic Application of High and Low Red:Blue Ratios During Lettuce Development Shifts Growth and Metabolite Allocation
Plants respond to light spectrum in different ways. When using red:blue (R:B) lighting during cultivation, high R:B can increase plant growth and carbohydrates. Conversely, low R:B can increase phyto...
