Description
Milton Gordillo-Romero and co-authors test how added light colors interact with plant type and salt stress in quinoa in a 2026 growth study. Quinoa tolerates drought and salt well, yet the role of light quality in that tolerance has barely been studied.
Four plant types, two shop varieties and two Ecuadorian landraces, grew under white light plus narrow red, far-red, or blue additions, with and without moderate salt. Added far-red made plants taller in both settings. Added red boosted mass without salt but not with it, while added blue softened salt harm. Breeding that targets light sensors may strengthen future crops.
