Abstract
Studies of the effects of light on morphology and development in regenerating plant tissues have been carried out in rather few instances. This is surprising in view of the multiplicity of responses known to be influenced by light and also because micropropagation is one of the few commercial horticultural enterprises in which plants are grown entirely in artificial light. When natural daylight is completely replaced, the spectrum of the artificial light source becomes particularly important and yet, in a majority of cases, this is largely ignored in commercial micropropagation installations.
