Abstract

Full-spectrum light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have gradually replaced narrow-spectrum LEDs and are widely used in plant factories with artificial lighting (PFALs). However, the specific effect of LED light quality on dry mass allocation in runner plant propagation remains unclear. Hence, we cultivated “Akihime” strawberries as mother plants for 115 days to conduct runner plant propagation experiment under white LEDs (W 100 ), white and red LEDs (W 84 R 16 and W 55 R 45 ), red and blue LEDs (RB 100 ), and red, blue and green LEDs (RB 80 G 20 ) in PFALs, and determined key factors affecting dry mass accumulation and allocation among mother plants and runner plants based on growth component analysis. The results showed that the net photosynthetic rate and total leaf area in mother plants in W 100 increased by 11% and 31%, respectively, compared with W 55 R 45 . In comparison to W 84 R 16 and W 55 R 45 , W 100 increased the dry mass (23%–30%) of runner plants mainly by increasing the total dry mass (TDM) (23%) of strawberry plants, without significantly affecting the fraction of dry mass partitioning to runner plants. However, the number of runners in W 55 R 45 was 5.1 per plant, representing only 78% of that in W 100 . Compared with RB 100 , RB 80 G 20 significantly increased the number of runner plants and runner numbers by 16% and 19% to 13.0 per plant and 5.8 per plant, respectively. The partial replacement of blue light with green light in RB 80 G 20 induced a shade avoidance response in runner plants, resulting in a 55% increase in the total leaf area of runner plants compared with RB 100 . Data from growth component analysis showed that compared with red and blue LEDs, white LEDs increased the TDM of runner plants by 83% by increasing the plant TDM accumulation (44%) and the fraction of dry mass partitioning to runner plants (37%). Additionally, the dry mass (g) of runner plants per mol and per kilowatt-hour under in W 100 were 0.11 and 0.75, respectively, significantly higher than other treatments. Therefore, reducing red light proportion in full-spectrum LEDs is beneficial for strawberry runner plant propagation in PFALs.
