In this study, I was focusing on LED (Light Emitting Diode) light effect in growth of chrysanthemum. For this reason, I formed six monochromatic lights (red 650 nm, 647 nm, 622 nm, blue 463 nm, 450 nm, white), six mixed lights sources red : blue (9 : 1, 8 : 2, 7 : 3, 6 : 4, 5 : 5) and 3 control beds in light sources ratio between rad : blue (8 : 2) including sun light. It was totally 15 control beds. Depending on light investigation time in growth, 6/6 (on/off) was highest in the length of plant, the number of leaves, the fresh dry and leaf area. But statistical significance wasn't accepted in general. In case of monochromatic lights, length of plant and leaf area is biggest in the Blue 450 mm and the length of root is highest in RED 650 mm. Except for this 3 measuring points (length of plant, the number of leaves and fresh weight), sun light and white was highest. Besides there are monochromatic light effect but various wavelength range in light sources are needed to crop growth. In terms of mixed light resources, except for sun light, It turned out the length of plant is highest in the highest red light rate red : blue (9 : 1), and Red : white (7 : 3) is highest in fresh weight and dry weight. The sun light is the highest one in the leaf area. The results from LED light effect in growth of chrysanthemum are obviously effect on growth and building up the shape. We need to choose suitable light sources in the monochromatic lights and mixed lights for growing high quality of chrysanthemum or Supplemental Lighting.

Photosynthesis rates of ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) leaves were measured in a controlled environment at $20^{\circ}C$ under the different monochromatic light such as white(W), red(R) and blue(B) to obtain basic information applicable to the colored shading material for the ginseng growth. Photosynthesis rate relative to white(W) light was generally higher in R and lower in B comparing to white(W) light. This difference was negligible at the close to the light-saturation point, whereas the difference among the monochromatic light was extended with decreasing the irradiant. It suggests that red is good in color of shading material for growth of American ginseng.

Visible photoluminescence (PL) has been observed generally in the blue and green spectral region from anodically etched porous Ge as well as spark processed Ge. Porous Ge which is prepared by anodic etching without UV light illumination displays the PL peak max of 52 nm (2.38 eV), while porous Ge with UV light illumination exhibits PL peak blue shift to a 470 nm (2.63 eV). Spark processed Ge shows a PL peak max of 520 nm with shoulder peaks at 420 nm and 610nm. The values of energy shift as a function of decreasing temperature between 300 K and 20 K is 0.53 and $1.89\;meVK^{-1}$ for anodic etched Ge without UV illumination and with UV illumination, respectively. On the contrary, no continuous blue shift of PL peak as a function of decreasing temperature is observed for the green luminescing spark processed Ge. From the results of PL as a function of temperature the origin of blue and green luminescing anodically etched Ge as well as spark processed Ge is discussed.

This paper devised a plant growing system As LED light source, three monochromatic lights (red, blue, white) and three mixed lights (red1+blue1, red2+blue1, red1+blue2) were made. According to the optical properties of those LED light sources and change in the amount of light, this author analyzed the characteristics of luminance and PPFD and also plant growth. According to the light efficiency of those LED light sources, it was high in white light as 125 lm/W and was low in red1+blue2 light as 9.9 lm/W. This result shows that monochromatic light has higher light efficiency than mixed light. The PPFD ($25{\mu}mol$, $50{\mu}mol$, $100{\mu}mol$) luminance in different wavelengths of LEDs was high in white LEDs and was low in blue LEDs. therefore, it is possible to devise an efficient LED lighting system appropriate for growing plants by variety monochromatic lights and mixed light wave length combination of LED light source.

The effects of light on the activities of several antioxidative enzymes, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase(SOD), ascorbate oxidase(AO), and peroxidase(POD) were examined in the hairy root cultures of Phytolacca esculenta van Houtte induced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens $A_4$T. Activities of CAT, SOD, and AO were significantly decreased with incresing light intensity (500-2,000 lx). The activity of AO under high light condition (2,000 lx)was decreased by 92% compared to the dark condition. The activities of glutathoine peroxidase (GPO), ascorbate peroxidase (APO) and general POD were increased under lower light intensify below 500 lx. The activity of GPO under 2,000 lx was decreased by 85% compared to the dark condition. The activities of antioxidative enzymes were more decreased in blue light (400-500nm). The activities of antioxidative enzymes in blue light intensity were increased in lower light intensity below 30 lx, but decreased 21-70% under 200 lx. The activity of AO was decreased by 70% under 200 lx with increasing blue light intensity. Our results suggest that the activities of antioxidative enzymes in hairy roots might be inhibited by endogenous oxidants generated under the high blue light conditions.

Various light intensity and light quality were treated to oat seedlings to investigate the effect of light on the chlorophyll accumulation and the formation of chlorophyll-protein complexes. The Increase of total chlorophyll accumulation and Chl (chlorophyll) a/b ratio was promoted under H (high intensity) white light during oat chloroplast development when compared to 1 (low intensity) white light. Also H white light was more effective in the formation of chlorophyll-protein complexes associated with PSI CCI and CCII than L white light. The seedlings grown in various right quality caused little changes in total chiorophyl and ChI-a/b ratio when compared to those grown in L white light. The assembly of LHCII trimer was more affected by L white light treatment in the formation of-chlorophyll-protein complexes than red light treatment. The effect of blue light on the relative composition of chlorophyll-protein complexes was similar to that of L white light. Particualrly, blue light was more effective in the synthesis of LHCII monomer than the other light quality at the early stage of greening. When compared to red light, blue light was more effective the increase of chlorophyll accumulation and Chl a/b ratio than 1ight Quality, and light Quality may be in important factor for the regulation of the organization in the chlorophyll-protein complexes curing greening.

This study was conducted to elucidate the effect of light sources and explant types on in vitro shoot multiplication and rooting of a rare and endangered plant Abeliophyllum distichum. Both apical buds and axillary buds were used as explants under 4 different light sources, cool white florescent light (F), 100% blue light-emitting diode (LED) (B), 50% blue and 50% red LED mixture (BR), and 100% red LED (R). Clear difference was observed in terms of shoot proliferation by light sources types but not by position-dependent explant types. Multiple shoot induction rates were enhanced under both B and BR light sources. Spontaneous rooting was induced in shoot induction medium under B light source. Both the rates of rooting and numbers of roots per explant were higher in apical bud explants compared to axillary bud explants. Interestingly R light source stimulated shoot elongation but inhibited root development. Therefore, our results suggest that the use of apical bud explants under B or BR light sources is suitable for in vitro micropropagation of a rare and endangered plant species, Abeliophyllum distichum.

The objective of this study was to know the growth response and light use efficiency of leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) 'Yorum Cheongchukmyeon' (green leaf lettuce) and 'Hongyom Jeokchukmyeon' (red leaf lettuce) under different RGB (Red:Green:Blue) ratio in a closed-type plant factory system. The plants were hydroponically cultured with a 12-h photoperiod at $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$, 60~70% RH and 600~900 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ $CO_2$. The light treatments were combined in three colors LEDs (red, blue, and white) and RGB ratios (1 : 4 : 5, 5 : 0 : 5, 5 : 2 : 3, 7 : 0 : 3, 7 : 1 : 2, and 8 : 1 : 1), however, as the light intensities of treatments were different. Growth characteristic response in both lettuces were significantly as affected by interaction between cultivar and light quality, when they were grown under different light quality conditions. Plant heights of green and red leaf lettuce were the lowest in 1 : 4 : 5 and 8 : 1 : 1, respectively. The highest length and number of leaf were showed 8 : 1 : 1 and 7 : 0 : 3 for the green and 5 : 2 : 3 and 8 : 1 : 1 for the red, respectively. Shoot dry weights of green and red leaf lettuce were the heaviest in 7 : 0 : 3 and 8 : 1 : 1, respectively. Leaf width and leaf shape index were significant about cultivar and light quality. Leaf widths of green and red leaf lettuce were the largest in 8 : 1 : 1 and 5 : 2 : 3, respectively. Leaf shape index of green and red leaf lettuce were the largest in 1 : 4 : 5 and 1 : 4 : 5, respectively. Shoot fresh weight and light use efficiency were significant about cultivar and light quality. Shoot fresh weights of green and red leaf lettuce were the heaviest in 7 : 0 : 3 and 8 : 1 : 1, respectively. Light use efficiencies of green and red leaf lettuce were the highest in 7 : 0 : 3 and 5 : 0 : 5, respectively. These results suggested that the ratio of RGB was 5~7 : 0~2 : 1~3 to cultivate leaf lettuce in a plant factory system.

White spunbonded fabrics has been utilized toy covering in rice seedling nursery. This study, therefore, was carried out to examine the effect of light quality on seedling emergence, growth, morphology, chlorophyll content and photosynthesis to get the information on the color of the fabrics. Blue, red and far-red lights were treated immediately after sowing seeds of three cultivars, Dongjinbyeo, Ilmibyeo and Daesanbyeo. Seedling emergence, growth and morphology, chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate were measured. Seedling emergence rate of Dongjinbyeo and Daesanbyeo was low under far-red light treatment compared to those under blue and red light ones. Although the rate of Ilmibyeo was not different from three light treatments. Far-red light treatment showed similar response in plant height and leaf length, but yee light increased number of roots. Shoot and root dry weight was the highest in blue and red light treatments, respectively. Total dry weight, however, was the lowest under far-red light treatment. While chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate of the three cultivars did not showed consistent response, those were the greatest under red light treatment, and were decreased in order of blue and far-red light treatment.

We have studied the mycelia growth of four soil-borne fungal pathogens under light qualities and two lighting types (continuous and intermittent) provided by light-emitting diodes (LEDs). As a result, each mycelia growth on Phytophthora cactorum KACC40166, Athelia rolfsii KACC40170, and Helicobasidium mompa KACC40836 strain showed the similar growth rates within 10% or less difference among treatments compared to dark control, regardless of lighting types. However, the mycelia growth on Rosellinia necatrix KACC40168 strain was significantly suppressed by blue, blue+green and blue+red LED as well as fluorescent lamp compared to a dark control, in common with lighting types. The melanin pigment on R. necatrix KACC40168 strain showed relatively to induce more strongly under green LED and fluorescent lamp, whereas no induction under red LED and a control, regardless of lighting types. Thus, the hypha width on R. necatrix KACC40168 was significantly thinned by blue and blue+green LED compared to a control, in common with lighting types.
