Light quantity (intensity and photoperiod) and quality (spectral composition) affect plant
growth and physiology and interact with other environmental parameters and cultivation …

In most crop breeding programs, the rate of yield increment is insufficient to cope with the
increased food demand caused by a rapidly expanding global population. In plant breeding …

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 …

Imported from the Andean region to Europe in the 16th century, today tomato is widespread
throughout the world and represents the most economically important vegetable crop …

Phytochemicals in vegetables are important for human health, and their biosynthesis,
metabolism and accumulation are affected by environmental factors. Light condition (light …

Light is one of the most important environmental factors affecting flavonoid biosynthesis in
plants. The absolute dependency of light to the plant development has driven evolvement of …

Using UV-A, blue (B), green (G), red (R), and far-red (FR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), we
investigated the effects of different supplemental light qualities on phytochemicals and …

Modification of spectral quality via coloured shade nets can act as a physiological tool to
modify the crop microenvironment and advance plant growth and yield. This literature review …

Carotenoids serve diverse functions in vastly different organisms that both produce and
consume them. Enhanced carotenoid accumulation is of great importance in the visual and …

The production of anthocyanin is regulated by light and corresponding photoreceptors. In
this study, we found that exposure to blue light and overexpression of CRY1a are associated …
