Article Abstract
Plants use light as energy for photosynthesis but also as a signal of competing vegetation. Using different concentrations of norflurazon and lincomycin, we found that the response to canopy shade in Arabidopsis () was repressed even when inhibitors only caused a modest reduction in the level of photosynthetic pigments. High inhibitor concentrations resulted in albino seedlings that were unable to elongate when exposed to shade, in part due to attenuated light perception and signaling via phytochrome B and phytochrome-interacting factors. The response to shade was further repressed by a retrograde network with two separate nodes represented by the transcription factor LONG HYPOCOTYL 5 and the carotenoid-derived hormone abscisic acid. The unveiled connection among chloroplast status, light (shade) signaling, and developmental responses should contribute to achieve optimal photosynthetic performance under light-changing conditions.

Background: Solar radiation is a primary constraint in silvoarable agroforestry, with yield losses near the trees well documented in temperate climates. However, genetic variability for shade tolerance remains largely unexplored. This 2-year field trial investigated the impact of artificial shading - using nets that reduced photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) by moderate (-30%) and severe (-50%) levels relative to full sun - on the morpho-physiology and yield of common wheat.

To investigate the photosynthetic responses of needles with different ages (current-year and annual-year) in to sunflecks along the vertical gradient of canopy, we conducted an experiment at the Changbai Mountain Forest Ecosystem Positioning Station utilizing a canopy tower crane platform. We selected current-year and annual-year needles from the upper (mean height: 23.26 m), middle (16.

Here, we investigated how the forest structure, tree diversity, community, life-history traits and habitat associations recovered over three decades of active restoration in an East African rainforest in Uganda. The vegetation surveys were initially conducted in 2013 and repeated in 2021.

In semi-arid drylands, landscape features such as water and trees are vital for individuals when reducing heat stress. In Australia, such landscapes have witnessed widespread canopy loss and considerable shifts in water availability due to anthropogenic processes, and are subject to greater frequencies of extreme temperatures. We explored the use of dammed watercourses and excavated earth tanks, and tree shade in two large macropod species, eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) and red kangaroos (Osphranter rufus) in the semi-arid drylands of south-western Queensland.

Background: In major soybean-growing regions worldwide, vertical (three-dimensional) planting systems are widely adopted. Achieving precise phenotyping of individual soybean plants is crucial for breeding shade-tolerant cultivars and optimizing high yields. However, canopy shading from taller crops severely restricts the acquisition of phenotypic information from the lower-growing soybeans, and conventional phenotyping platforms struggle to meet the demands of such complex planting structures.
