Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Blue light produced shorter tomato plants and smaller upward oriented leaves.
- Intervention effect Blue grown leaves had the highest light harvesting pigment levels.
- Intervention effect Blue grown leaves had the highest photosynthesis rate under white light.
- Intervention effect Green light produced taller tomato plants with nearly horizontal leaves and high specific leaf area.
- Mechanism The open green light plant structure and leaf optics enabled deeper canopy penetration.
- Observation Red, amber and white light produced comparable plant height, leaf area and biomass.
- Observation Simulations showed architecture changes significantly affected leaf and crop light absorbance.
- Observation Green grown plants receiving red light had the highest simulated crop photosynthesis rate.
- Recommendation Dynamic light spectra may increase growth and production in greenhouse horticulture and vertical farming.
