“…(Glowacka, 2006). Blue light can increase or decrease shoot and internode lengths, shoot dry matter, as well as leaf area (Abidi et al, 2013;Brown et al, 1995;Glowacka, 2004;Hernández and Kubota, 2014;Ohashi-Kaneko et al, 2007;Piszczek and Głowacka, 2008;Wilson et al, 1993) (Table 1). In some species, it has no …”

“…Similarly, shoot elongation is increased under blue light in pepper (Brown et al. 1995) and cucumber (Piszczek & Glowacka 2008), whereas it is repressed in Pinus (Sarala et al. 2007) and in S. tuberosum (Wilson et al.…”

Blue light effects on rose photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis

et al. 2012

Through its impact on photosynthesis and morphogenesis, light is the environmental factor that most affects plant architecture. Using light rather than chemicals to manage plant architecture could reduce the impact on the environment. However, the understanding of how light modulates plant architecture is still poor and further research is needed. To address this question, we examined the development of two rose cultivars, Rosa hybrida'Radrazz' and Rosa chinensis'Old Blush', cultivated under two light qualities. Plants were grown from one-node cuttings for 6 weeks under white or blue light at equal photosynthetic efficiencies. While plant development was totally inhibited in darkness, blue light could sustain full development from bud burst until flowering. Blue light reduced the net CO(2) assimilation rate of fully expanded leaves in both cultivars, despite increasing stomatal conductance and intercellular CO(2) concentrations. In 'Radrazz', the reduction in CO(2) assimilation under blue light was related to a decrease in photosynthetic pigment content, while in both cultivars, the chl a/b ratio increased. Surprisingly, blue light could induce the same organogenetic activity of the shoot apical meristem, growth of the metamers and flower development as white light. The normal development of rose plants under blue light reveals the strong adaptive properties of rose plants to their light environment. It also indicates that photomorphogenetic processes can all be triggered by blue wavelengths and that despite a lower assimilation rate, blue light can provide sufficient energy via photosynthesis to sustain normal growth and development in roses.

“…Also there are few studies describing effect of solar conditions on growth, development and yield of cucumber (Liebig, 1985;Liebig and Krug, 1991;Kharkina et al, 2003;Ibarra-Jiménez et al, 2008;Kalbarczyk, 2009), but there are a lot more studies devoted to optimization of cultivation and cropping physiology of the characterized plant (Peil and López-Gálvez, 2002;Talanov et al, 2005;Piszczek and Glowacka, 2008). Cucumber ontogenesis, from seed germination to final stages of ageing and their death, is controlled by light.…”

“…According to these researchers optimal light and thermal conditions are: day duration amounting to 13 h, light intensity -130 klx and average temperature -30ºC. Piszczek and Glowacka (2008) evaluated the effect of the colour of light on cucumber planting and found that cucumber plants growing under lamps with blue light, compared with daylight, were higher, had longer internodes, a thicker stem and a higher content of dry mass in the fresh mass of shoots. According to Piszczek and Glowacka (2008), with quantum irradiation of intensity amounting to 60 μmol m -2 s -1 the content of chlorophyll and carotenoids was bigger in the leaves of plants growing in daylight and the content of anthocyanins was not reliant on the colour of light and the intensity level of quantum irradiation.…”

Solar energy, accessible to plants during sunshine from the sunrise to the sunset is of key importance in productivity of agrocenoses. The aim of the work was to determine risk of pickling cucumber cultivation caused by an unfavorable course of sunshine duration in Poland on the basis of a 40-year research period . The research into the subject was undertaken due to frequent occurrence of sunshine deficiency in Poland and its high temporal and spatial variability. Effect of solar conditions described by sunshine duration in the five development stages on the quantity of the total and marketable yield of cucumber with consideration of a linear trend of an independent variable was determined by means of multiple regression analysis. The accuracy of the equations was evaluated on the basis of, among other things, determination coefficient, average relative forecast error and the indexes: mean bias error (MBE), mean absolute bias error (MABE) and root mean square error (RMSE). Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) yield was confirmed for the period from the end of emergence to the beginning of flowering and from the beginning of harvesting to the end of harvesting. Cucumber yield was lower by 18% than the multiannual average in the years 1966-2005 every 1.5-2 years -in the case of the occurrence of the shortage in the period from the end of emergence to the beginning of flowering and by 12-15% every 2-3 years in the period from the beginning of harvesting to the end of harvesting. In four years, out of the 40 considered ones, simultaneously in both cucumber development stages, unfavorable solar conditions occurred, causing reduction by at least 5% in the total yield of the plant in Poland, and in three years -the marketable yield. Key words: development, growth, reduction in yield, solar conditions Risco do cultivo de campo de pepino decapado causado por condições desfavoráveis de duração de brilho solar RESUMO: A disponibilidade de energia solar para as plantas desde o nascer ao por do sol é de fundamental importância para todo agronegócio. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar o risco da produção de pepino (Cucumis sativus L.) decapado causado pelo curso desfavorável de duração da radiação solar na Polônia, baseado em um período de 40 anos de pesquisa . A pesquisa foi realizada pelo fato da ocorrência frequente de deficiência de insolação na Polônia e sua alta variabilidade temporal e espacial. O efeito das condições solares descritas pela duração da insolação foi estudado em relação às produtividades total e comerciável de pepino, considerando uma tendência linear de uma variável independente. A precisão das equações foi avaliada com base no coeficiente de determinação, erro médio relativo de precisão e índices: erro médio de bias, erro médio absoluto de bias e raiz do erro médio quadrado. A produtividade foi analisada a partir da emergência até o início do florescimento e do inicio ao fim da colheita. A produtividade de pepino foi 18% menor em relação a media multianual dos anos 1966-2005 cada 1,5-2 anos -n...
