Reaching Natural Growth: Light Quality Effects on Plant Performance in Indoor Growth Facilities
We investigated the effects of different wavelength combinations in phytotrons (i.e., indoor growth chambers) on plant growth and physiology in seven different plant species from different plant functional types (herbs, grasses and trees). The results from these experiments were compared against a previous field trial with the same set of species.
Plant Strategies for Enhancing Access to Sunlight
The light environment and effects on plant growth. (A) Leaf spectral properties as the main determinant for light composition in plant communities. Upon absorption of sunlight (top spectrum) by photosynthetic pigments, a leaf filters most of the blue and red wavelengths and the resulting transmitted light is relatively enriched in green and far ...
Light-Quality Manipulation to Control Plant Growth and ...
Light quantity (intensity and photoperiod) and quality (spectral composition) affect plant growth and physiology and interact with other environmental parameters and cultivation factors in determining the plant behaviour. More than providing the energy for photosynthesis, light also dictates specific signals which regulate plant development, shaping and metabolism, in the complex phenomenon of ...
The effect of light quality on plant physiology, photosynthetic, and
The impacts of wavelengths in 500-600 nm on plant response and their underlying mechanisms remain elusive and required further investigation. Here, we investigated the effect of light quality on leaf area growth, biomass, pigments content, and net photosynthetic rate (Pn) across three Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, along with changes in transcription, photosynthates content, and ...
The benefits of informed management of sunlight in production
Large fluctuations in sunlight available for plant growth in greenhouse environments and polytunnels create conditions requiring dynamic solutions to optimising the growing environment. Currently, diffusive spray-on coatings, which can be spectrally selective, are employed seasonally to avoid acute high irradiances, but these lack the short ...
Understanding how plants use sunlight
Credits. Photo: Stuart Darsch. Plants rely on the energy in sunlight to produce the nutrients they need. But sometimes they absorb more energy than they can use, and that excess can damage critical proteins. To protect themselves, they convert the excess energy into heat and send it back out.
Positive effect of shade on plant growth: amelioration of stress or
Introduction. Competition for light is size-asymmetric due to the unidirectional nature of sunlight. Slightly faster growth and larger body size confers a disproportionate advantage to a competing plant by simultaneously increasing its own light capture and its shading of smaller competitors (Schwinning & Weiner 1998).As a result, above-ground competition can lead to the competitive exclusion ...
Frontiers
The effects of light on leaf pigment amounts were wide-ranging, showing positive or negative responses depending on photoperiod (Lefsrud et al., 2006; Stutte et al., 2009; Sysoeva et al., 2010; Žnidarčič et al., 2011), the wavelength applied during plant growth (Li and Kubota, 2009; Kopsell et al., 2017) and plant species (Sysoeva et al ...
PDF The effects of sunlight and slope on the lichen community
Sunlight, precipitation, temperature, and slope are major environmental factors that shape the distribution of lichen communities (Shrestha et al. 2012). Sunlight is helpful for most lichen to perform photosynthesis and produce energy. Different lichen species require different amounts of light based on their morphology, and some species of ...
How light and temperature work together to affect plant growth
Date: August 29, 2022. Source: Salk Institute. Summary: Plants lengthen and bend to secure access to sunlight. Despite observing this phenomenon for centuries, scientists do not fully understand ...
PDF Effect of reflected sunlight on plant growth
Reflected sunlight enhances plant growth. It is recommended that further research should be carried out on the growth of plants subjected to the reflected sunlight. It is expected that such crops will manifest greater yield. This can be extended to the food crops for increased food production globally.
Effects of growth under different light spectra on the subsequent high
However, research on the effect of spectral wavelengths on plant growth and development is still in progress. Plant responses to light differ based on the lighting environment, season, genotype, cultivation practices and many others . Although light is the energy source for photosynthesis, it can simultaneously function as a stress factor.
Plant growth: the What, the How, and the Why
Growth is a widely used term in plant science and ecology, but it can have different meanings depending on the context and the spatiotemporal scale of analysis. At the meristem level, growth is associated with the production of cells and initiation of new organs. At the organ or plant scale and over short time periods, growth is often used ...

The effects of salt and water stress on growth and several stress markers were investigated in cherry tomato plants. Some growth parameters (stem length and number of leaves) and chlorophyll ...

Effects of light emitting diode lights on plant growth, development and
Different colors of LED lights have different effects on the growth and development of diverse plants, and most of the research has mainly focused on red and blue light (Li et al., 2017).For example, blue light exposure has been reported to reduce leaf area and shoot dry weight of the Asteraceae plants, but to increase those of the Solanaceae plants (Sabzalian et al., 2014; Vu et al., 2014).
The relationship between plant growth and water consumption: a history
The history of the relationship between plant growth and water consumption is retraced by following the progression of scientific thought through the centuries: from a purely philosophical question, to conceptual and methodological developments, towards a research interest in plant functioning and the interaction with the environment. The relationship between plant growth and water consumption ...
