- Association Increased blue light was associated with lower plant light absorption.
- Association Increased blue light was associated with lower leaf area.
- Association Increased blue light was associated with lower leaf length/width ratio.
- Association Increased blue light was associated with shorter stem.
- Intervention effect Light-limited quantum yield was not affected by blue light fraction.
- Intervention effect maximum photosynthetic capacity was not affected by blue light fraction.
- Mechanism Increasing blue light in a solar background decreased growth mainly through morphology and light interception.
