Beyond red and blue: Unveiling the hidden action of green wavelengths on plant physiology, metabolisms and gene regulation in horticultural crops

The aim of this review is to update the knowledge on the effects of green, as both monochromatic light and portion of multispectral radiation, on plant physiology, metabolism, and transcriptional regulation to the most recent advances, with a special focus on those underlying useful agronomic outputs in terms of plant growth and yield, and product quality in vegetable and herbaceous crops. Last findings on these aspects are summarised in order to determine if and how green light-mediated responses can contribute to boost the plant performance in greenhouse and controlled environment horticulture.
