LED lighting in Tissue Culture

Abstract

Due to rapid increase in the world’s population, there is reduction in agricultural lands and accommodation space. Thus, to assure a peaceful, hunger free and healthy world for next generations, plant tissue culture is the best alternate and LEDs are the supplementary light sources for the growth of plants in tissue culture process. In this thesis we show the design of an LED panel followed by fabrication of a prototype. In this we use different combination of light that is red and blue. LEDs are better source of light than conventional lamps as they have lower power consumption and do not have high touch temperature. As the process of photosynthesis do not require constant light of full spectrum. LEDs can produce specific wavelength of sufficient photon fluxes. Physiological features of plant growth can be regulated and controlled by using sources of LED lights by varying distance of LED lights from the plant or by varying the intensity of LEDs.
