Sinusoidal/Square

  1. Light intensity in brackets is in µmol m−2 s−1. Sinusoidal is for sinusoidal light distribution, square is for wave square light distribution. Blue, red, green are for monochromatic blue, red, green wavelengths, respectively; blue + red is for blue light condition over imposed with red light peaks. White is for white light composed by blue, red and green (50, 5, 45%, respectively). n is the number of data for each class.
