Review: Perspectives on improving light distribution and light use efficiency in crop canopies (Plant Physiol)
Light comes largely from above, and plants have evolved strategies to efficiently capture this light even when competing with other potentially shading plants. However, at a field-level, such competition may (and does) prevent plants from collectively maximizing light use efficiency, hence yield. In this comprehensive review, Slatterly and Ott provide an overview of years of […]
