The plasticity of plant morphology has evolved to maximize reproductive fitness in response to prevailing environmental conditions. Leaf architecture elaborates to maximize light harvesting, while the transition to flowering can either be accelerated or delayed to improve an individual’s fitness. One of the most important environmental signals is light, with plants using light for both photosynthesis and as an environmental signal. Plants perceive different wavelengths of light using distinct photoreceptors. Recent advances in LED technology now enable light quality to be manipulated at a commercial scale, and as such opportunities now exist to take advantage of plants’ developmental plasticity to enhance crop yield and quality through precise manipulation of a crops’ lighting regime. This review will discuss how plants perceive and respond to light, and consider how these specific signaling pathways can be manipulated to improve crop yield and quality. Crop yields and qualities can be improved by manipulating their photoreceptors with light. Matthew Jones of the UK’s University of Essex reviewed the latest research on plant responses to various wavelengths of light and how photoreceptor pathways can be manipulated to improve commercial crops. Plants contain a variety of photoreceptors, each responding to distinct wavelengths of light to initiate cellular pathways that affect plant growth and development. These pathways can lead to the formation of pigments that improve fruit quality. They also play roles in plant responses to shade, daily and seasonal changes in light, and flowering times. Recent developments in cost-effective LED lights can lead to the optimization of crop growth. However, further research is needed to understand the differences in photoreceptors and their pathways in various plants.
