Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how continuous lighting (CL) affects plant physiology and photosynthesis, considering if effects vary with light source (natural vs. artificial) and if they differ between native and non-native plants in the subarctic.
  • - Experiments included various light conditions on three native and three non-native plant species in the Polar-Alpine Botanic Garden, measuring their responses during peak summer and under controlled climate chamber settings.
  • - Results indicate that plants do not have specific defense mechanisms against CL; they experience oxidative stress-related leaf injuries under artificial CL conditions, while in their natural environment, they manage to avoid damage by maintaining endogenous rhythms through fluctuating environmental factors.

The absence of an externally-imposed 24 h light/dark cycle in closed plant production systems allows setting the light environmental parameters in unconventional ways. Innovative lighting modes for energy-saving, high-quality, and yield production are widely discussed. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the light/dark cycles of 16/8 h (control) and 24/12 h, 48/24 h, 96/48 h, 120/60 h (unconventional cycles) based on the same total light amount, and continuous lighting (360/0 h) on plant performance of some Solanaceae species.
