Carotenoids are isoprenoids widely distributed in foods that have been always part of the
diet of humans. Unlike the other so-called food bioactives, some carotenoids can be …

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 …

Light-emitting diode (LED) technology has rapidly advanced the past years and it is
nowadays irrevocably linked with controlled-environment agriculture (CEA). We provide …

Phytochemicals in vegetables are important for human health, and their biosynthesis,
metabolism and accumulation are affected by environmental factors. Light condition (light …

Advances in plant tissue culture methods with regard to lighting requirements are currently
focused on the improved features of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Over the years, the steady …

In urban agriculture, plant growth is limited by the availability of light. Light emitting diodes
(LED) could provide specific quality and quantity of light overcoming existing limitations for …

Major losses of fresh horticultural produce transpire during postharvest storage due to
prompt senescence and diseases. The traditional postharvest preservation techniques used …

In the mission of plant husbandry, light is a critical yet passive entity. The potential to actively
implement dynamic lighting strategies to control plant growth and development holds great …

Plant productivity and product quality ultimately are dependent on an interaction between
genetics and environment, and one of the most important environmental cues is light. Light …

Availability of sufficient light for growth optimization of plants in greenhouse environment
during winter is a major challenge, as light during winter is significantly lower than that in the …
