| description | Chlorophyll is the primary pigment responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis, while carotenoids assist in light absorption and provide photoprotection by dissipating excess energy. Both pigments are essential for plant growth and development, playing distinct and complementary roles in maintaining photosynthetic efficiency and protecting plants from oxidative stress. Because of their function in photosynthesis and photoprotection, chlorophyll and carotenoid accumulation are strongly associated with light conditions, especially blue and red lights, which play key roles in regulating their metabolisms. Despite advancements in understanding pigment metabolism, there remains a limited comprehensive overview of how various parts of the light spectrum influence these pathways throughout the entire process. The effects of other spectral ranges of light, such as green light, far-red light, and UV, are not yet fully understood. This review aims to synthesize recent findings about the regulatory network of chlorophyll and carotenoid pathways under different light spectral bands, emphasizing the interplay between light-regulated transcription factors and genes involved in their biosynthesis and degradation. |
