TL;DR: The growth and production of anthocyanin, flavonoid and phenolic compounds were evaluated in Lollo Rosso lettuce "Revolution" grown continuously under films varying in their ability to transmit UV radiation (completely transparent to UV, transparent above 320, 350, 370 and 380 nm and completely opaque to UV radiation) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Growing plants continuously under a UV blocking film, and then 6 days before the final harvest transferring them to a UV transparent film, showed that high yields and high phytochemical content can be achieved complementarily.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the action of three FR-absorbing polythene films on extension growth of Petunia (Petunia hybrida) cv. "Express Blue" and Impatiens walleriana cv "Accent Deep Pink" with plants grown under a control Polythene film (standard UVI/EVA) and half of the plants under the control film were treated with a chemical plant growth regulator (PGR; diaminozide, B-Nine).

TL;DR: Experiments performed in vitro examined the sporulation of Botrytis cinerea (grey mould) under different spectral distributions and discussed the potential of spectral filters as a novel means of grey mould control in greenhouse-produced crops.

TL;DR: The effect of UV radiation on fruit secondary compounds of strawberry cv ‘Elsanta’ was recorded taking chronological age and fruit position on the truss into account as discussed by the authors, and the results indicate that UV radiation does not affect all aspects of strawberry ripening but independently alters rate of colour development and fruit firmness.
