Description
Shaofang Wu and co-authors study tomato seedlings grown indoors in a 2024 plant paper. In a plant factory, growers control light by the clock, and the length of the light period shapes growth. The team grew one truss tomato type under 12, 16, or 20 hours of light each day and compared the results.
Longer light gave taller, heavier plants with more green pigment and higher rates of food making from light. Mineral levels in the plants changed little across the three settings. A broad chemical scan found shifts in fats, amino acids, and transport pathways as light length grew. The authors say the findings can help growers set light schedules that speed up seedling growth.
