Light drives photosynthesis and informs plants about their surroundings. The information provided by the light environment is perceived by multiple plant photoreceptors, including phytochromes (PHYs), which are sensitive to red and far-red light and are implicated in most plant photomorphogenesis events. Regarded as a multifunctional signaling molecule in plants, nitric oxide (NO) has bee…
Fleshy fruit growth and ripening are under strict developmental, hormonal and epigenetic regulation, which in turn are fine-tuned by a plethora of environmental stimuli. Among environmental cues, light plays a significant role in determining fruit growth, pigmentation and timing of ripening. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), a major model species for fleshy fruits and leading vegetable cr…
The transition from etiolated to green seedlings involves the conversion of etioplasts into mature chloroplasts via a multifaceted, light-driven process comprising multiple, tightly coordinated signaling networks. Here, we demonstrate that light-induced greening and chloroplast differentiation in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seedlings are mediated by an intricate crosstalk among phytochr…

The cuticle contributes in multiple ways to the adaptation of plants under different environmental conditions. In fleshy fruits, such as tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), the control of cuticle formation has a high relevance for both fruit physiology and agronomic/commercial aspects. Recently, studies carried out on A. thaliana plants and maize leaves have demonstrated a possible activatio…
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most cultivated vegetable plants in the world; however, adverse environmental conditions, both biotic and abiotic, are known to cause causing significant productivity and quality losses in this crop species. Signaling compounds, such as Nitric Oxide (NO), have been successfully used in some plants to improve their response to abiotic stress cond…

Portulaca oleracea is one of the uncommon cases in which a plant is able to cycle between two CO2 concentrating mechanisms (i.e., C4 and CAM), thereby contradicting the theory that C4 and CAM are incompatible and highlighting how our knowledge about these photosynthetic adaptations is still limited. Whether plant hormones play a significant role in regulating C4 and CAM when these syndrom…
