The results show that blue light gives the highest anthocyanin and chlorophyll content, whereas the highest flavonoid content is found under red light. Therefore, these biochemical compounds with a well-known impact on human health, may be adjusted by selecting specific wavelengths to improve the quality of plants.展开更多
