Proud to share that Stephan David will defend his PhD on Friday the 29th! Also, his 1st paper was published in Planta! "Fragaria ananassa DAM4 expression correlates with vegetative growth during semi-dormancy breaking". @hortproductphyswur.bsky.social #plantscience doi.org/10.1007/s004...
Fragaria ananassa DAM4 expression correlates with vegetative growth during semi-dormancy breaking - Planta
Dormancy-Associated MADS-BOX (DAM)3 and DAM4 have been described as potential regulators of winter dormancy in cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.). These genes are upregulated under shor...

The third chapter of the PhD thesis of Dr. Jordan VB @dr-bluesky.bsky.social is out! We @hortproductphyswur.bsky.social show that dynamic light spectra at different dev stages determine trade-offs between growth & phytochemicals. doi.org/10.1111/ppl.... #PlantScience #Horticulture #VerticalFarming
Dynamic Application of High and Low Red:Blue Ratios During Lettuce Development Shifts Growth and Metabolite Allocation
Plants respond to light spectrum in different ways. When using red:blue (R:B) lighting during cultivation, high R:B can increase plant growth and carbohydrates. Conversely, low R:B can increase phyto...
