TL;DR: Chlorophyll florescence measurements provide valuable physiological data andradiance of full sunlight and water deficit stress let to the photoinhibition of photosynthesis, as indicated by a reduced quantum yield of PSII, ФPSII, and qP, as well as higher NPQ.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that a RB ratio of 3 provides optimal growing conditions for indoor cultivation of basil, fostering improved performances in terms of growth, physiological and metabolic functions, and resources use efficiency.

TL;DR: A RB ratio of 3 is suggested for sustainable indoor lettuce cultivation due to the effect of R and B spectral components on lettuce plant physiology and biochemistry and resource use efficiency and the transpiration decrease was accompanied by lower stomatal conductance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the effect of varying the red (R) and blue (B) LED spectral components (RB ratios of 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4) on the eco-efficiency of indoor production of lettuce, chicory, rocket and sweet basil from a life cycle perspective.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) for indoor production of leafy vegetables and herbs was defined by linking resource use efficiency to physiological responses and biomass production under different light intensities.
