Light quantity (intensity and photoperiod) and quality (spectral composition) affect plant
growth and physiology and interact with other environmental parameters and cultivation …

Plants use photoreceptor proteins to detect the proximity of other plants and to activate
adaptive responses. Of these photoreceptors, phytochrome B (phyB), which is sensitive to …

The aim of this study was to investigate the different combinations of red (R) and blue (B)
light emitting diode (LEDs') lighting effects on growth, pigment content, and antioxidant …

Light spectra significantly influence plant metabolism, growth and development. Here, we
review the effects of monochromatic blue, red and green light compared to those of …

The pleasant green appearance of plants, caused by their reflectance of wavelengths in the
500–600 nm range, might give the impression that green light is of minor importance in …

Ultra-violet (UV) and blue radiations are perceived by plants through several
photoreceptors. They regulate a large range of processes throughout plant life. Along with …

Light is one of the most important environmental factors affecting flavonoid biosynthesis in
plants. The absolute dependency of light to the plant development has driven evolvement of …

Communication occurs when a sender emits a cue perceived by a receiver that changes the
receiver's behavior. Plants perceive information regarding light, water, other nutrients, touch …

Plants experience changes in light intensity and quality due to variations in solar angle and
shading from clouds and overlapping leaves. Stomatal opening to increasing irradiance is …

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of short wavelength ranges are being developed as light
sources in closed-type plant production systems. Among the various wavelengths, red and …
