Article Synopsis
- Researchers have discovered a process that helps plants regulate their growth based on day length, not just flowering time.
- The study by Wang et al. shows that plants gauge day length by the length of time they can perform photosynthesis and produce metabolites.
- This finding highlights the importance of day length in controlling both flowering and vegetative growth in plants.
Among the adenylate carriers identified in , only the AMP/ATP transporter shows increased expression in roots under waterlogging stress conditions. Here, we investigated the impact of a reduced expression of in plants submitted to waterlogging conditions. For this purpose, an T-DNA mutant and two antisense lines were evaluated.

- Photosynthesis is super important because it helps plants grow and keeps life going on Earth, but we need to find new ways to help plants grow better because of more people and changes in the climate.
- Scientists are looking into different methods like changing the shape of leaves and finding ways to make plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide more efficiently.
- The review talks about recent discoveries that could help improve how well plants photosynthesize and what future ideas could be explored to make this even better.
