Photosynthesis is the strategy adopted by many living organisms for capturing and incorporating energy, and it is under this context that light is primarily experienced, explored, and exploited. Plants perceive information from the ambient environment and communicate with other organisms using light. They have developed a plethora of photoreceptors that permit this communication with the surrounding environment. Additionally, the physical properties of light, such as the spectral quality, irradiance, intensity, and photoperiod, play an integral role in the morphogenesis, growth, and metabolism of many biochemical pathways in plants. To facilitate photosynthesis in controlled environments, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been shown to offer interesting prospects for use in plant lighting designs in controlled-environment agriculture (greenhouses) and growth chambers for in vitro cultures. In high-technology greenhouses (for instance, vertical agriculture), artificial light may assume both assimilative (optimizing photosynthetic efficiency) and control functionality (guiding growth and development or the synthesis and accumulation of plant metabolites). In vitro cultures are regulated by different factors, and among them, light is the most important.Growth (Plants)Growth (Plants)581.31Cavallaro ValeriaMuleo RosarioNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910719778503321The effects of LED light spectra and intensities on plant growth3391279UNINA01932nam 22005173 450 991014954660332120231110233218.097814824588241482458829(CKB)3710000000933903(MiAaPQ)EBC29336106(Au-PeEL)EBL29336106(OCoLC)1352011598(BIP)057043937(EXLCZ)99371000000093390320221223d2016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAttack of the Stink Bugs1st ed.New York, NY :Gareth Stevens Publishing LLLP,2016.©2017.1 online resource (26 pages)Animal Invaders: Destroying Native Habitats 9781482456776 148245677X Though stink bugs weren't introduced to the United States until the 1990s, this invasive species has spread to nearly every state in the country. Their biggest enemies? Farmers who don't like them feeding on crops and fruits. Readers don't need to smell a squished stink bug to understand the harm they can cause not only to crops, but also to native species. The main content and fact boxes discuss how the stink bugs ended up in the United States and the efforts being made to stop their population from growing even more.Animal Invaders: Destroying Native Habitats StinkbugsIntroduced insectsAgricultural pestsStinkbugs.Introduced insects.Agricultural pests.632.754Rajczak Michael1244744MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910149546603321Attack of the Stink Bugs2995428UNINA
