LED lamps with various combinations of red (R) and blue (B) wavelengths were used to supplement sunlight for the growth of a heat-resistant (HR) and heat-sensitive (HS) recombinant inbred lines (RIL) of lettuce. The RB-LED ratios were 100R:0B (0B), 92R:8B (8B), 84R:16B (16B), and 76R:24B (24B) with an equal PPFD of 100 μmol m-2 s-1. The greatest leaf expansion rates were observed at 8B for both genotypes. All HR-RILs had similar values of growth parameters and specific leaf area (SLA). However, higher values of growth parameters were observed in HS-RIL with 0B, 8B, and 16B than that under 24B and sunlight. Furthermore, HS-RIL had higher SLA under 0B compared to other conditions. Photosynthetic light-use efficiency and maximal oxygen evolution rate were the lowest under 8B for both genotypes. The quality of LED lighting, if provided, seemed to implicate genotype dependence, probably as a result of their different sensitivities to heat stress.

Keywords: electron transport rate; leaf expansion; light- and CO2-saturated net photosynthetic rate; photochemical and nonphotochemical quenching; pigment; stomatal density
