Abstract

We used red light-emitting diodes (LEDs, R) and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs, B) to obtain the different light intensities of uniform spectra and investigated the effects of different light intensities on growth and leaf development of young tomato plants. The results showed that fresh weight, dry weight, stem diameter and health index were superior in plants grown under 300, 450 and 550 μmol m−2 s−1. The energy efficiency was highest under 300 μmol m−2 s−1. When photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) increased from 50 to 550 μmol m−2 s−1, a decrease in the specific leaf area (SLA) was observed. Under 300 and 450 μmol m−2 s−1, the thickness of leaves, palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma were the bigger, and the stomatal frequency and stomatal area per unit leaf area were also higher. The highest net photosynthesis rate (Pn) was observed under 300 μmol m−2 s−1. Our results implied that, compared to other light treatments, 300 μmol m−2 s−1 was more suitable for the culture of young tomato plants and there was no substantial gain from a PPFD above 300 μmol m−2 s−1.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
