Abstract

The development of economical LED technology has enabled the application of different light qualities and quantities to control plant growth. Although we have a comprehensive understanding of plants’ perception of red and blue light, the lack of a dedicated green light sensor has frustrated our utilization of intermediate wavelengths, with many contradictory reports in the literature. We discuss the contribution of red and blue photoreceptors to green light perception and highlight how green light can be used to improve crop quality. Importantly, our meta-analysis demonstrates that green light perception should instead be considered as a combination of distinct ‘green’ and ‘yellow’ light-induced responses. This distinction will enable clearer interpretation of plants’ behaviour in response to green light as we seek to optimize plant growth and nutritional quality in horticultural contexts.

绿色阴影：解开绿色感光的结。

摘要

经济型LED技术的发展使得可以应用不同质量和数量的光来控制植物的生长。尽管我们对植物对红色和蓝色光的感知有一个全面的了解，但是缺少专用的绿色光传感器使我们对中间波长的利用感到沮丧，文献中有许多相互矛盾的报道。我们讨论了红色和蓝色感光体对绿光感知的贡献，并重点介绍了如何使用绿光改善作物质量。重要的是，我们的荟萃分析表明，应将绿光感知视为不同的“绿光”和“黄光”光诱导响应的组合。
