Light environment regulation of carbon metabolic pathways in black pepper flowering: Synergistic effects of sucrose transport and hormone signaling
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: • Transcriptomics reveals dynamic regulation during pepper inflorescence development. • 30% shading and/or 60 mg/L gibberellic acid enhances inflorescence development. • Shading alone enables non-chemical control of off-season bud formation. • Light regulates flowering via hormone-mediated carbon allocation pathways. • Sucrose synthesis and transport are key processes in light-regulated flowering.
