The effect of short-term intermittent light exposure on total carbon content and quality of dark-stored ornamental chilli plants.

Using ornamental chilli (Capsicum frutescens cv. Hungarian Hot Yellow Wax) as a model plant, a study was conducted on carbon balance analysis to determine the potential of using 2-3 h of intensive light exposure per day (as opposed to continuous darkness) to maintain plant quality during a 16-day storage period. Carbon input/output ratios were ascertained by measuring respiratory carbon losses and photosynthetic carbon inputs. Replacement of respiratory carbon losses (i.e. approx. 95%) using 2-3 h of light exposure was sufficient to maintain growth attributes (i.e. plant height, leaf area, leaf, stem, root and total dry weight).
