Why is it important?

This paper is timely because traditional agriculture has to be complemented by indoor growing systems that in turn require the application of additional/supplementary light. The light sources are not sustainable. New lighting technologies such as LEDs have been developed. The paper establishes the possibilities of LED lighting systems to improve growth and productivity and how changes in wavelength can manipulate the plant metabolism to produce functionalized foods
