About

Light is the primary source of energy for land plants. However, the scope of the interaction between light and plants is not limited to this. Several decades of research have shown that light affects many aspects of a plant’s physiology throughout its growth and development, from germination to senescence. This includes light modulation of plant architecture, whole-plant and tissue-specific effects, changes in metabolism, gene expression, co/post-transcriptional regulation, post-translational modifications, epigenetic modifications, responses to abiotic and biotic stress, organelle signaling, among others.

Through this topic we would like to present an overview of current efforts to drive the field of plant photobiology forward. We welcome submissions of any of the diverse types of manuscripts (original research papers, reviews, methods, etc), including but not limited to the following topics:

• Light signaling
• Interactions between light and the circadian clock
• Light modulation of plant architecture/plasticity
• Light modulation of basic cellular processes
• Light quality/quantity effects on plant physiology
• Light interactions with abiotic/biotic stress responses
• Light dependent intra- and inter-organelle signaling
• Light modulation of plant immunity
• Optogenetic tools
• Applications for crop improvement

Please note that descriptive studies will not be considered.
