Electrochemical Gradients, Plant Metabolism, and Light Quality
This article describes the role of electrochemical gradients in photosynthesis, including electron transport and carbon fixation, as well as the impact of light quality on electron transport and ATP generation.
Crop Steering for Generative Growth
Following our recent review of crop steering for vegetative growth, we will now examine the specific cues required for generative development. Generative growth is geared towards reproduction: Plants produce bud sites and, later, flower.
Crop Steering for Vegetative Growth
Here we are focusing on the specifics of crop steering for vegetative growth. What cues can you use to encourage plants to rapidly produce leaves and roots?

XLamp® XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs Set a New Standard in Horticulture Lighting
Designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, unmatched durability and seamless system upgrades, XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs are optimized for high-performance applications in greenhouses, vertical farms and other large-scale growing operations. These LEDs achieve an impressive typical Wall-Plug Efficiency (WPE) of 83.5% at 700 mA and 25°C. This efficiency allows horticulture luminaires to deliver the same output with less power consumption, translating into lower operating costs and optimized designs that use up to 35% fewer Photo Red LEDs. Cree LED's XP-L Photo Red LEDs, built with advanced S Line technology, set a new standard in sulfur and corrosion resistance, offering an extended lifespan and reliable performance. These features significantly reduce maintenance costs while providing consistent, high-quality lighting throughout critical growth cycles. Additionally, a consistent platform offers easy integration with a drop-in replacement for existing XP-based luminaires eliminating the need for reengineering due to footprint changes. With the same 3.45 x 3.45 mm XP footprint as the XP-G3 Photo Red S Line LEDs, the XP-L Photo Red ensures a hassle-free upgrade for existing designs.
