CALL FOR ARTICLES – Light on Flowering: the role of light spectrum in regulating flowering in horticultural crops

Horticultural crops, including fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, medicinal herbs, and aromatic spices, are pivotal in addressing diverse agricultural needs. Recent advances in understanding how different light spectra influence flowering in horticultural crops, especially with LED technology, have created new research opportunities, especially in controlled environments like greenhouses and vertical farms.

Meet our 2 new Subject Editors

Yuling Jiao takes over our “Development, growth and differentiation” area after Ykä Helariutta. Yuling Jiao’s lab combines multidisciplinary approaches to study plant development, in particular shoot lateral appendage formation and patterning. In combination with mathematical simulation, they study the 3D form acquisition of leaves, the primary aerial organ. In addition,

Call for articles- From the biosynthesis of volatiles and colors to their role in eco-environments-CLOSED

Plant-specialized metabolites, including anthocyanin and carotenoids, and floral volatiles such as terpenoids, phenylpropanoids/benzenoids, and fatty acids play crucial roles in plants. Importantly, they are features of flowers’ colors and fragrance, which are essential traits in maintaining the ecological linkage between flowers and a diverse range of visitors, such as pollinators,

A bit more salt? How do plants cope with it?

The phrase “to be worth one’s salt” speaks to the importance with which this mineral was held by ancient peoples, as—in addition to its flavour-enhancing properties—it was the crucial factor allowing food preservation in the absence of refrigeration or canning technologies. However, the same microbe-killing properties that make it so
