light-spectrum

2 articles

Light spectrum refers to the range of wavelengths within visible and near-visible light, from blue and red to far-red wavelengths, each carrying different energy levels and signaling properties. In plant science, specific wavelengths drive photosynthesis efficiency and trigger photoreceptor-mediated responses that regulate growth, flowering time, and the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites like pigments and medicinal compounds. Manipulating light spectra in controlled environments has become a powerful tool for optimizing crop yield, potency, and quality in horticultural and pharmaceutical plant production.
