- Intervention effect Continuous light increased dry matter production in cultivated tomato.
- Intervention effect Continuous light increased dry matter production in wild tomato.
- Mechanism Continuous photosynthesis increased carbon gain under continuous light.
- Intervention effect Cultivated tomato developed leaf chlorosis and reduced leaf chlorophyll in continuous light.
- Intervention effect Cultivated tomato had higher antioxidative enzyme activity in continuous light.
- Observation Normal diurnal starch and sugar patterns occurred only in control conditions.
- Observation Continuous light affected the cultivated species photosynthetic apparatus more than that of the wild species.
- Intervention effect Diurnal temperature variation alleviated negative effects of continuous light.
