Beyond the PAR spectra: impact of light quality on the germination, flowering, and metabolite content of Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni)

Narendren Rengasamy et al.

Summary: The combination of red, blue, and UV-A light proved to be the most effective in improving germination rates and yields for Stevia rebaudiana. While red and blue light combinations were effective for plant growth, supplemental UV-A irradiation significantly delayed flowering and enhanced yields. Overall, the use of red, blue, and UV-A light resulted in the best productivity for Stevia rebaudiana.

Supplemental Far-Red Light Stimulates Lettuce Growth: Disentangling Morphological and Physiological Effects

Reeve Legendre et al.

Summary: Supplemental far-red light increases leaf length and width, enhances canopy size, and promotes photosynthetic accumulation in lettuce plants. Far-red light is more effective than PPFD in increasing light reception and plant biomass in both early and late harvests.

Pulsed LED-Lighting as an Alternative Energy Savings Technique for Vertical Farms and Plant Factories

Ernesto Olvera-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of continuous LED light and pulsed LED light on plant growth, and proposed a mathematical model and evaluation method. The results showed that there were no significant statistical differences in energy consumption between the different operating modes of LED light, and significant energy savings were achieved at each light intensity.

UV-A and FR irradiation improves growth and nutritional properties of lettuce grown in an artificial light plant factory

Rui He et al.

Summary: The study found that UV-A and FR light had different effects on lettuce growth and phytochemical content, with UV-A increasing various chemical contents but reducing biomass, while FR light resulted in larger leaf area without affecting biomass.

Red and blue wavelengths affect the morphology, energy use efficiency and nutritional content of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)

Xiao-li Chen et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of different proportions of red (R) and blue (B) LED light on energy use efficiency and quality of lettuce in closed plant factory systems. Results showed that the proportions of R and B influenced the quality of lettuce, with different responses observed for different indexes. Prioritizing specific indexes is crucial before determining the optimal proportions of R and B for plant growth.

Energy optimisation of plant factories and greenhouses for different climatic conditions

Till Weidner et al.

Summary: The trend towards localizing food production is driving the development of controlled-environment agriculture, particularly indoor vertical farming, to ensure year-round supply of healthy food. However, high energy consumption remains a major concern that needs to be addressed to ensure environmental sustainability.

Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.) Bertoni cultivated under different photoperiod conditions: Improving physiological and biochemical traits for industrial applications

Marcos Vinicius Silva de Andrade et al.

Summary: Research demonstrates that Stevia rebaudiana's response to light conditions affects the accumulation of antioxidant-like metabolites in its leaves, possibly linked to total phenolic content. Variations in SOD activity among plants under different photoperiods suggest a synergistic interaction between SOD isoforms and phenolic compounds to mitigate oxidative stress caused by light exposure.

Evaluation of Air Temperature, Photoperiod and Light Intensity Conditions to Produce Cucumber Scions and Rootstocks in a Plant Factory with Artificial Lighting

Sewoong An et al.

Summary: In a plant factory with artificial lighting, the growth of cucumber scions and rootstocks is more affected by light intensity than DIF. Smaller temperature differences between day and night are favorable for seedling growth, while an increased daily light integral promotes the growth of scions and rootstocks.
