Yale study pinpoints how plants adjust to and grow in various lighting conditions

hanism works at the biochemical level.

"We have found the key to how a plant can sense its light environment and modify its development to optimize photosynthesis, which turns light energy into chemical energy," said Deng. "The immediate application would be for agriculture. Farmers can alter crops so they will thrive in less favorable light conditions. This finding can also be used to make greenhouse plants grow much stronger and healthier in early spring, when light is not as abundant."

Deng's research team in Yale's Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology included Mark T. Osterlund, Ph.D. student; Christian S. Hardtke, postdoctoral fellow and Ning Wei, associate research scientist.
