Incident Far‐Red Photons Drive Leaf Photosynthesis Less Efficiently Than PAR Light, but Are More Effective in Promoting Growth Open
Recently, far‐red light (FR) in the range 700–750 nm has been reported to have similar photosynthetic efficiency as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, 400–700 nm), when supplied in combination with PAR. We aimed to investigate if ad…

Non-natural day length does not negatively affect lettuce growth as a result of acclimated carbohydrate rhythms Open
The plant endogenous clock determines optimal physiological and growth responses to daily environmental changes. Aligning the day length with the endogenous clock period (different from 24 h) is known as circadian resonance and enhances th…

Dose-response of tomato fruit yield to far-red fraction in supplementary lighting Open
Supplementary LED lighting in greenhouse horticulture is typically rich in red light (R; 600–700 nm), while it lacks far-red light (FR; 700–800 nm), resulting in growing conditions with lower-than-solar far-red fractions [<0.46; FR/(R +…
