Photosynthesis is the biological mechanism that converts light energy into chemical energy to fuel plant growth [1], and it is considered essential for the overall development and life cycle of plants [2], [3]. Research consistently links the two by showing that increased photosynthetic efficiency directly promotes plant growth [4], [5], [6].

claimLight from the top and side improves leaf structure and anatomy, photosynthesis, and chlorophyll fluorescence, while side light specifically promotes plant growth, improves chloroplast arrangement, induces a higher density of small stomata, and promotes stomatal opening and photosynthetic efficiency (Yang and Jeong, 2021).
referenceThe dark reaction of photosynthesis takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts and utilizes ATP and NADPH produced by the light reaction to convert carbon dioxide to organic matter and produce glucose through energy conversion; subsequently, enzymes facilitate the formation of other sugars to provide material and energy for plant growth and development.
referenceWu et al. (2024) studied the effect of red, blue, and amber light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on photosynthesis and plant growth parameters.
claimLight regulates plant growth and development throughout the life cycle by directly influencing physiological processes through photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis, as established by Gálvez et al. (2020) and Deng et al. (2024).
claimPlant growth is strongest at 75% irradiation because this level increases photosynthesis, reduces the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and maintains stomata and chloroplast structure (Ma et al., 2015).
