Kulchin In vitro potato plantlet development under different polychromatic LED spectra and dynamic illumination (PREPRINT)
We studied growth of potato plantlets of two cultivars under different constant polychromatic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and dynamic lighting with the spect- rum modifications during growth. Light sources constructed by us were sunbox SB, red-green-blue RGB, and full spectrum FS, red-blue. White luminescent lamps were used as control light. Dynamic lighting was achieved by transferring groups of plantlets from one box to another. Red/green/blue portions in the light sources were (in percents): 39R/39G/22B for SB, 63R/21G/16B for RGB, 74R/8G/18B for FS, and 22R/49G/29B for control. PPFD was set at 45 µmol/m2 s. Morpho- metric measurements were made 14 and 28 days after planting. Plantlets developed differently from initial stages. Cultivar 'Red Scarlett' appeared to be more suscep- tible to different lighting than 'Innovator'. Light variations RGB and RGB-SB were the most favorable for plantlet development. This is the first report on the dynamic lighting application for growing potato plantlets
