Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Irradiation reduced plant size relative to the control.
- Intervention effect Far-red and red-blue light regimes decreased plant height compared with white fluorescent light.
- Intervention effect Far-red and red-blue light regimes raised relative water content compared with white fluorescent light.
- Intervention effect Irradiation under full-spectrum and red-blue regimes favoured the development of dwarf plants.
- Intervention effect Irradiation under full-spectrum and red-blue regimes improved leaf water status.
- Intervention effect Under the white fluorescent regime, irradiated plants showed reduced photosynthesis and stomatal conductance.
- Intervention effect In red-blue irradiated plants, gas exchange was significantly stimulated.
- Intervention effect The red-blue regime enhanced Rubisco expression in irradiated plants.
- Intervention effect The red-blue regime induced anatomical adjustments in irradiated plants: increased leaf thickness and incidence of intercellular spaces.
- Intervention effect Irradiation with 48Ca ions did not prevent fruit ripening, irrespective of the light quality regime.
