Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Red LED root exposure increased maize shoot and root biomass.
- Intervention effect Higher light intensities increased monstera biomass.
- Intervention effect LED treatment significantly decreased root water potential.
- Intervention effect LED light increased root potassium ions relative to controls.
- Intervention effect Red LED light had greater glucose and potassium effects than blue light.
- Observation The authors conclude red root LED exposure accelerates root and shoot growth.
