Background Agricultural production in controlled indoor farming offers a reliable alternative
to food and nutrition supply for densely populated cities and contributes to addressing the …

In contrast to the primary metabolism, responsible for essential synthesis mechanisms and
mass balance in plants, the secondary metabolism is not of particular importance for each …

The aim of this study was to investigate the different combinations of red (R) and blue (B)
light emitting diode (LEDs') lighting effects on growth, pigment content, and antioxidant …

Background The red (R) and blue (B) light wavelengths are known to influence many plant
physiological processes during growth and development, particularly photosynthesis. To …

Plant stress responses involve a suite of genetically encoded mechanisms triggered by real-
time interactions with their surrounding environment. Although sophisticated regulatory …

Linear electron transport depends on balanced excitation of photosystem I and II. Far‐red
light preferentially excites photosystem I (PSI) and can enhance the photosynthetic efficiency …

Solid-state light emitting diodes (LEDs) are emerging as an energy efficient alternative
lighting source in controlled environments. The objective of this study was to examine the …

To optimize crop production/quality in space, we studied various “light recipes” that could be
used in the Advanced Plant Habitat currently aboard the International Space Station (ISS) …

A vast interest in plant photobiological responses is growing in both academia and
commercial sectors, due to rapid developments in electrical lighting technology. Each …

The aim of this study is to explore the potential of light-emitting diode (LED) technology for
horticultural plant lighting and to provide an overview about the LED light effects on growth …
