Background Agricultural production in controlled indoor farming offers a reliable alternative
to food and nutrition supply for densely populated cities and contributes to addressing the …

Cruciferous vegetables and oilseeds are rich in glucosinolates that can transform into
isothiocyanates upon enzymic hydrolysis during post-harvest handling, food preparation …

Light-emitting diode lamps can allow for the optimization of lighting conditions in artificial
growing environments, with respect to light quality, quantity, and photoperiod extension, to …

For many growers, established and newcomers, the determination of the optimal light
spectrum for growing crops can be challenging and highly dependent on crop species and …

Light quality optimization is an efficient method for improving the growth and quality of
lettuce in plant factories. In this study, lettuce seedlings were illuminated under different light …

The present work aims to explore the potential to improve quality of purslane microgreens by
combining water salinity and LED lighting during their cultivation. Purslane plants were …

Background The effects of different photoperiods on plant phytochemical synthesis can be
improved by adjusting the daily light integral. Photoperiod is one of the most important …

To improve microgreen yield and nutritional quality, suitable light spectra can be used. Two
species—amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L.) and turnip greens (Brassica rapa L. subsp …

Nitrogen availability and light quality affect plant resource allocation, but their interaction is
poorly understood. Herein, we analyzed the growth and allocation of dry matter and nitrogen …

Microgreens of four species of the family Brassicaceae (broccoli, mizuna, radish, and
arugula) were grown under 16-and/or 24-h photoperiod conditions. In the first series of …
