The woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca (2n = 2x = 14), is a versatile experimental plant
system. This diminutive herbaceous perennial has a small genome (240 Mb), is amenable to …

Light has a profound effect on plant growth and development. Red and blue light best drive
photosynthetic metabolism, so it is no surprise that these light qualities are particularly …

The plant family Rosaceae consists of over 100 genera and 3,000 species that include
many important fruit, nut, ornamental, and wood crops. Members of this family provide high-value …

Blue light (BL) rapidly and strongly inhibits hypocotyl elongation during the photomorphogenic
response known as de‐etiolation, the transformation of a dark‐grown seedling into a …

Fresh strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) are valued for their characteristic red color, juicy
texture, distinct aroma, and sweet fruity flavor. In this study, genetic and environmentally …

During the transition from darkness to light, the rate of hypocotyl elongation is determined
from the integration of light signals sensed through the phototropin, cryptochrome, and …

In the mission of plant husbandry, light is a critical yet passive entity. The potential to actively
implement dynamic lighting strategies to control plant growth and development holds great …

Background Plastid genome sequence information is vital to several disciplines in plant
biology, including phylogenetics and molecular biology. The past five years have witnessed a …

Light passing through or reflected from adjacent foliage provides a developing plant with
information that is used to guide specific genetic and physiological processes. Changes in …

<p>Despite its value as a crop and potential utility as an experimental system, relatively little
is known about the molecular-genetic aspects of inheritance or physiology in the cultivated …
