Orange photons (623 nm) resulted in similar or greater lettuce growth than red photons (660 nm): comparative effects on morphology, photon capture, and photosynthesis

Photosynthetic efficiency is wavelength-dependent. Previous studies found that photons between ~600–625 nm (herein referred to as ‘orange photons’) resulted in the highest quantum yield (i.e., moles of CO2 fixed per mole of absorbed photons), followed by ~650–675 nm red photons. However, these findi...
