Translational photobiology: towards dynamic lighting in indoor horticulture.

Bechtold, Ulrike; Burow, Meike; Kangasjärvi, Saijaliisa

Abstract

Crop productivity depends on the ability of plants to thrive across different growth environments. In nature, light conditions fluctuate due to diurnal and seasonal changes in direction, duration, intensity, and spectrum. Laboratory studies, predominantly conducted with arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), have provided valuable insights into the metabolic and regulatory strategies that plants employ to cope with varying light intensities. However, there has been less focus on how horticultural crops tolerate dynamically changing light conditions during the photoperiod. In this review we connect insights from photobiology in model plants to the application of dynamic lighting in indoor horticulture. We explore how model species respond to fluctuating light intensities and discuss how this knowledge could be translated for new lighting solutions in controlled environment agriculture.
