e0“This large difference was related to lower light absorption by the plants when fraction blue light increased, due to more compact morphology, i.e. lower leaf area, leaf length/width ratio and shorter stem.”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Tomato total dry weight decreased linearly with increasing blue light; 27 % blue produced 1.6 times the dry weight of 61 % blue.
- 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.
- 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.
