Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) can be used as greenhouse-glazing materials because of their translucent properties, varied colors, and ability to produce electricity. To assess their effect on plant growth and physiological responses, Petunia ×hybrida ‘Madness Red’ was investigated under four different light treatments: transparent polycarbonate panels (T) as the control, T + 50% shade (S), red-colored DSSCs (D), and D + cool-white light-emitting diodes (LED) (D + L). Compared to T, S increased the leaf area and the number of days to flowering and decreased the number of flowers and relative chlorophyll content (SPAD). D increased the plant height, leaf area, fresh weight, and the number of days to flowering and reduced the SPAD and number of leaves and flowers due to a lower daily light integral (DLI) and blue light than T. Compared to S, D increased the plant height, leaf area, and fresh weight while reducing the number of leaves and flowers due to the lower blue light. D + L increased the number of leaves and flowers, flowering rate, dry weight, and SPAD but inhibited stem and leaf elongation compared to D, due to an increase in DLI and blue light. The deployment of red DSSCs in greenhouses could potentially induce unfavorable morphological and developmental responses in light-sensitive plants. However, these effects can be mitigated using DSSC-powered LED supplemental lighting.
期刊介绍:
Horticulture, Environment, and Biotechnology (HEB) is the official journal of the Korean Society for Horticultural Science, was launched in 1965 as the "Journal of Korean Society for Horticultural Science".
HEB is an international journal, published in English, bimonthly on the last day of even number months, and indexed in Biosys Preview, SCIE, and CABI.
The journal is devoted for the publication of original research papers and review articles related to vegetables, fruits, ornamental and herbal plants, and covers all aspects of physiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, protected cultivation, postharvest technology, and research in plants related to environment.
