Abstract

Providing an adequate quantity and quality of food for the escalating human population under changing climatic conditions is currently a great challenge. In outdoor cultures, sunlight provides energy (through photosynthesis) for photosynthetic organisms. They also use light quality to sense and respond to their environment. To increase the production capacity, controlled growing systems using artificial lighting have been taken into consideration. Recent development of light-emitting diode (LED) technologies presents an enormous potential for improving plant growth and making systems more sustainable. This review uses selected examples to show how LED can mimic natural light to ensure the growth and development of photosynthetic organisms, and how changes in intensity and wavelength can manipulate the plant metabolism with the aim to produce functionalized foods.

  • Fluorescent lights have limited possibilities to control and adjust intensity and composition of light spectra, and these parameters are not stable and change during growth of tissue culture plants.

    “They have limited possibilities to control and adjust the intensity and composition of the light spectra, and these parameters are not stable and change during the growth of tissue culture plants (Darko et al., 2014; Bantis et al., 2016).”

    From Growth, photosynthetic function, and stomatal characteristics of Persian walnut explants in vitro under different light spectra (2023) · cites this paper as Darko et al., 2014

    Section 2 (page unavailable) says the spectrum and intensity of fluorescent lights are not stable over a long time. It contrasts fluorescent lighting with LEDs’ spectral flexibility and ease of control, but does not directly state that fluorescent lights have limited adjustment options or that their parameters change specifically during the growth of tissue-culture plants.

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.
