  • Effects of illumination with xenon or sulfur lamp on growth of tomato seedlings were studied. Results showed no obvious differences in net photosynthetic rate and apparent quantum efficiency. In comparison with xenon lamp, illumination with sulfur lamp slightly reduced ChI a and ChI b content in leaves, relatively shortened epicotyl and hypocotyl length, but significantly increased anthocyanin content of leaves and promoted root growth of tomato seedling plants.
