This project aims to enhance agricultural yield by understanding how plants respond to light limitations caused by neighboring vegetation. It focuses on the role of phytochrome photoreceptors and the circadian clock in optimizing plant growth strategies, particularly in the context of a new oilseed crop, pennycress.
As arable land becomes scarcer and the human population continues to grow, we need to focus our efforts on increasing yield.
The goal is to rethink agriculture to ensure food security.
One way to do so is to lower yield loss due to light limitation by neighbouring shade or high-density planting.
Phytochrome (phy) photoreceptors play a critical role in plant survival under vegetation shade conditions, by initiating a switch to a shade avoidance response (SAR) growth strategy.
Although SAR reconfi…
