“…Ooi et al (2016) reported that the leaf length and area of the first two leaf pairs of Arabidopsis grown under a combination of red and blue laser light were higher than the control plants grown under white fluorescent light and equal or lower in the subsequent leaf pairs. Bolting and flowering times of red and blue laser grown plants were slightly delayed, which is most likely due to the absence of far-red light that promotes flowering (Ishiguri and Oda, 1972; Runkle and Heins, 2001). Although far-red as well as green light is photosynthetically inefficient, they exhibit some effects on the growth and development, especially in vegetative development, flowering, stomatal opening, and stem growth modulation (Folta and Maruhnich, 2007; Wang and Wang, 2014).…”

Mesembryanthemum crystallinum is a succulent, facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant. Plant growth and photosynthetic characteristics were studied when M. crystallinum plants were grown indoor under light emitting diodes (LED)-lighting with adequate water supply. Plants were cultured aeroponically for a 16-h photoperiod at an equal photosynthetic photon flux density of 350 μmol m-2 s-1 under different red:blue LED ratios: (1) 100:0 (0B); (2) 90:10 (10B); (3) 80:20 (20B); (4) 70:30 (30B); (5) 50:50 (50B); and (6)100:0 (100B). M. crystallinum grown under 10B condition had the highest shoot and root biomass and shoot/root ratio while those grown under 0B condition exhibited the lowest values. Compared to plants grown under 0B condition, all other plants had similar but higher total chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoids (Car) contents and higher Chl a/b ratios. However, there were no significant differences in Chl/Car ratio among all plants grown under different red- and blue-LEDs. Photosynthetic light use efficiency measured by photochemical quenching, non-photochemical quenching, and electron transport rate, demonstrated that plants grown under high blue-LED utilized more light energy and had more effective heat dissipation mechanism compared to plants grown under 0B or lower blue-LED. Statistically, there were no differences in photosynthetic O2 evolution rate, light-saturated CO2 assimilation rate (Asat), and light-saturated stomatal conductance (gssat) among plants grown under different combined red- and blue-LEDs but they were significantly higher than those of 0B plants. No statistically differences in total reduced nitrogen content were found among all plants. For the total soluble protein, all plants grown under different combined red- and blue-LEDs had similar values but they were significantly higher than that of plants grown under 0B condition. However, plants grown under higher blue-LEDs had significant higher ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco) protein than those plants grown under lower blue-LED. High Asat and gssat but very low CAM acidity of all M. crystallinum plants during light period, imply that this facultative CAM plant performed C3 photosynthesis when supplied with adequate water. Results of this study suggest that compared to red- or blue-LED alone, appropriate combination of red- and blue-LED lighting enhanced plant growth and photosynthetic capacities of M. crystallinum.

“…These results suggest that a certain level of R is necessary for effective promotion of flowering. FR of a single color does not induce FT and FT homolog gene expression in Arabidopsis and G. paniculata, while SOC1 and SOC1 homolog gene expression is induced by FR of a single color and promotes flowering (Hori et al, 2011). Because, in contrast to FR, FR with both R and B (FR:R:B = 6 : 3 : 1) enhances FT homolog gene expression (Hori et al, 2011), the promotion of flowering by FR supplemented with R could be related to the enhancement of FT homolog gene expression in addition to SOC1 homolog expression in G. paniculata.…”

“…paniculata does not flower under long-day conditions with B, whereas Arabidopsis flowers early under B as well as under FR (Hori et al, 2011). The number of flowering or budding flower shoots per plant was similar between FR:B and FR (Tables 3 and 4) and between FR and FR:R:B-c, the ratios of B and R in the latter were the same and lower than those in FR:R:B-b, respectively; therefore, obvious promotion of flowering and flower budding was not found under B supplementation in this study.…”

“…Recently, Hori et al (2011) reported that the flowering of G. paniculata is promoted under longday conditions, not under R and B but under FR. In this study, flowering and flower budding were also promoted under FR, while no flowering was observed under SD conditions; therefore, FR of a single color is effective in inducing the flowering of G. paniculata.…”

A low red (R): far-red (FR) ratio is known to promote flowering of Arabidopsis and several long-day cut flowers, whereas not much information is available on the effects of single light qualities and their combinations on flowering. Therefore, the effects of light quality on the flowering of Gypsophila paniculata were investigated using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) emitting the following lights: FR, R, and blue (B). Flowering and flower budding were observed under long-day conditions with FR, while no flowering was observed under short-day conditions. Promotion of flowering and flower budding was increased under FR supplemented with R compared to FR alone. Although generally R inhibits flowering in long-day plants, a certain intensity of R, for example, the R:FR ratio between 0.23 and 0.71, may be necessary for effective promotion of flowering. In contrast, B supplementation of FR was not effective at the ratio in this study in inducing flowering and flower budding. The quality of cut flowers produced under long-day conditions with LEDs that promoted flowering was not lower than that under incandescent lamps. These results will provide basic knowledge for the development of LED bulbs as a replacement for incandescent bulbs.

Calcium (Ca 2+) concentration, early fruit growth, and expression of Ca 2+ -movement-related genes were analyzed during early fruit development in the tomato, which is the most important stage regarding the incidence of blossom-end rot (BER), to investigate the physiological mechanisms affecting the occurrence of BER. We used tomato introgression line IL8-3 with a chromosome segment from a wild relative (Solanum pennellii) because this line shows lower incidence of BER compared with the parent cultivar 'M82' (S. lycopersicum), as described previously. Ca 2+ concentration in fruit and leaves was higher in IL8-3 than in 'M82', whereas no significant differences were observed between Ca
