- Intervention effect Most light treatments from day 20 or 30 lowered peanut seed dry weight relative to darkness; green light from day 30 was the exception.
- Intervention effect Natural, blue and far-red light from day 30 lowered peanut seed lipid and triacylglyceride amounts versus darkness.
- Intervention effect Natural, blue and far-red light from day 30 increased peanut seed sugar and diacylglyceride levels versus darkness.
- Observation In darkness, soybean seed lipid content increased.
- Observation In darkness, soybean seed total sugar and protein contents decreased.
- Intervention effect Light shifted in vitro conversion of 14C-glycerol-3-phosphate toward DG rather than TG relative to dark conditions.
- Intervention effect Light had no appreciable effect on incorporation of 14C-oleoyl-CoA into TG.
