Description
Jiangtao Hu, Byoung Ryong Jeong, and Qichang Yang introduce a journal special issue, writing in 2026. Now in its second edition, the issue covers how plants respond to light at the cell and molecule level. Light feeds plants through photosynthesis, yet it also acts as a rich signal that times flowering and shapes growth, chemistry, and stress defense.
Six papers in the collection range from small RNA signaling in maize to pigment metabolism, hormone shifts, antioxidant defense, and protection of the photosynthetic machinery. Together they show light quality acting at many control levels at once. One maize study found a small RNA's free levels changing with light through binding to a partner protein rather than through new production.
