Evaluation Of Growth And Antioxidative Potential Of Pea (Pisum Sativum L.) Seedlings Irradiated With Different Led Lights

Plant growth, development and metabolism are strongly influenced by light characteristics such as spectral quality, intensity and duration. This study aimed to evaluate the growth and antioxidative activities of pea (Pisum sativum) seedlings growing under different light spectra (white, blue and red LED) on different days. Maximum growth was found in blue light followed by white light and red light. The activities of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were also higher in roots and leaves of pea seedlings grown under blue light compared to white light and red light. These findings suggest that blue wavelength can reduce oxidative stress and thus benefits the growth of pea seedlings
