The phytochemicals biosynthesis is affected by environmental factors, and light in particular. Light effects can be categorized in photoperiod, intensity and quality. While it is widely known that light intensity can positively affect phytochemicals accumulation, the effects of light quality are more complex and often reported with mixed results. So this review focuses on the currently knowledge about different light quality on the control of phytochemicals biosynthesis. A better knowledge on these regulatory mechanisms will be useful for modifying phytochemicals biosynthesis in vegetables and fruits.展开更多
