Book excerpt: Since photosynthetic performance is a fundamental determinant of yield in the vast majority of crops, an understanding of the factors limiting photosynthetic productivity has a crucial role to play in crop improvement programmes. Photosynthesis, unlike the majority of physiological processes in plants, has been the subject of extensive studies at the molecular level for many years. This reductionist approach has resulted in the development of an impressive and detailed understanding of the mechanisms of light capture, energy transduction and carbohydrate biosynthesis, processes that are clearly central to the success of the plant and the productivity of crops. This volume examines in the widest context the factors determining the photosynthetic performance of crops. The emphasis throughout the book is on the setting for photosynthesis rather than the fundamental process itself. The book will prove useful to a wide range of plant scientists, and will encourage a more rapid integration of disciplines in the quest to understand and improve the productivity of crops by the procedures of classical breeding and genetic manipulation.

This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light is the main source of energy for the primary process that sustains life on our planet, known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the strategy adopted by many living organisms for capturing and incorporating energy, and it is under this context that light is primarily experienced, explored, and exploited. Plants perceive information from the ambient environment and communicate with other organisms using light. They have developed a plethora of photoreceptors that permit this communication with the surrounding environment. Additionally, the physical properties of light, such as the spectral quality, irradiance, intensity, and photoperiod, play an integral role in the morphogenesis, growth, and metabolism of many biochemical pathways in plants. To facilitate photosynthesis in controlled environments, light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) have been shown to offer interesting prospects for use in plant lighting designs in controlled-environment agriculture (greenhouses) and growth chambers for in vitro cultures. In high-technology greenhouses (for instance, vertical agriculture), artificial light may assume both assimilative (optimizing photosynthetic efficiency) and control functionality (guiding growth and development or the synthesis and accumulation of plant metabolites). In vitro cultures are regulated by different factors, and among them, light is the most important.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photosynthesis converts light into metabolic energy which fuels plant growth. In nature, many factors influence light availability for photosynthesis on different time scales, from shading by leaves within seconds up to seasonal changes over months. Variability of light energy supply for photosynthesis can limit a plant ́s biomass accumulation. Plants have evolved multiple strategies to cope with strongly fluctuation light (FL). These range from long-term optimization of leaf morphology and physiology and levels of pigments and proteins in a process called light acclimation, to rapid changes in protein activity within seconds. Therefore, uncovering how plants deal with FL on different time scales may provide key ideas for improving crop yield. Photosynthesis is not an isolated process but tightly integrates with metabolism through mutual regulatory interactions. We thus require mechanistic understanding of how long-term light acclimation shapes both, dynamic photosynthesis and its interactions with downstream metabolism. [...].

This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future of agriculture strongly depends on our ability to enhance productivity without sacrificing long-term production potential. An ecologically and economically sustainable strategy is the application of microorganisms, such as the diverse bacterial species of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). The use of these bio-resources for the enhancement of crop productivity is gaining worldwide importance. Bacteria in Agrobiology: Crop Ecosystems describes the beneficial role of plant growth promoting bacteria with special emphasis on oil yielding crops, cereals, fruits and vegetables. Chapters present studies on various aspects of bacteria-plant interactions, soil-borne and seed-borne diseases associated with food crops such as rice, sesame, peanuts, and horticultural crops. Further reviews describe technologies to produce inoculants, the biocontrol of post harvest pathogens as a suitable alternative to agrochemicals, and the restoration of degraded soils.

Download or read book The Influence of Spectral Quality of Light on Plant Secondary Metabolism and Photosynthetic Acclimation to Light Quality written by Dave Hawley and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light quality can have a profound effect on many aspects of plant development. In this thesis, the influence of light quality on yield, morphology, and secondary metabolite profiles was evaluated in basil, strawberry, and cannabis, and the acclimation to light quality was quantified in lettuce and strawberry. These experiments were conducted using four fixed light spectra described as the "Red-blue (RB) Blade", "Red-green-blue (RGB) Blade", "Far-red (FR) Blade", and "Red-blue + red-green-blue (RB+RGB) Blade" (the term blade refers to the industry nomenclature for this lamp configuration), as well as an array of nine variable-spectra LED arrays. Growing basil plants under the RB and RGB Blades showed the two spectra to produce statistically comparable profiles of volatiles in basil leaf extracts. Growing strawberry plants under RB, RGB, RB+RGB, and FR Blades, the FR spectrum produced plants with significantly longer petioles than the RGB spectrum. Berry flavour was unaffected by any of the light spectra, with berry juice being comparable in sugar content, pH, and total acid content. Analysis of volatiles in berry juice was inconclusive, with irregular profiles between replications. Deploying the RB and RGB Blades below cannabis canopies as supplemental light sources resulted in a significant impact on yield and secondary metabolite profiles with both Blades compared to canopies with no sub-canopy lighting. The RGB Blades made the greatest impact on modifying terpene content, and the RB Blades produced the most homogenous bud cannabinoid and terpene profile throughout the canopy. Exploring the potential photosynthetic acclimation of lettuce and strawberry plants to light qualities over time, both species were grown to vegetative maturity under various fixed spectra to acclimatize the plants to given light environments. After acclimation, plants were rapidly subjected to many different light qualities (30 - 60 minutes each), with whole-plant photosynthesis measured under each light quality. Plants preconditioned to certain basal light spectra were able to achieve significantly different photosynethic rates in various post-conditioning light qualities. This thesis concludes that spectral quality does significantly modify plant morphology and secondary metabolism, and spectral acclimation can have significant effects on whole-plant photosynthesis. The observations regarding plant acclimation are novel and have meaningful consequences in both research and commercial production, warranting further exploration.
