DESCRIPTION:Light is a key environmental signal regulating plant developme
 nt. Plants perceive different wavelengths of light using specialised photo
 receptors. This information is integrated with temperature signals to cont
 rol the abundance and activity of the PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR (PIF)
  family of transcription factors. PIFs regulate multiple developmental pro
 cesses throughout plant development. In this talk\, I will discuss how lig
 ht signals regulate plant architecture and the potential for PIF photomani
 pulation to improve crop quality and shelf life in controlled environment 
 agriculture.
