الوصف: In vertical farms, the supplementation of far-red light has been widely applied to regulate plant growth and development. However, the relative contribution of far-red to photosynthesis and plant growth in indoor production systems is not sufficiently quantified. This study quantify the photosynthesis and growth responses under different levels of supplemental far-red in lettuce using a 3D modelling approach. Lettuce were cultivated under either white light or red to far-red (R:FR) ratio of 1.6 or 0.8. Measurements of plant morphological traits, leaf photosynthesis, and organ fresh and dry mass were taken and the 3D modelling approach was used to simulate plant photosynthesis and biomass accumulation. Results showed that leaf elevation angle, leaf expansion rate, and plant height significantly increased at each growth stage as the R:FR ratio decreased. Far-red light also promoted plant growth, leading to an increase in the dry and fresh weight of lettuce throughout the entire growth period. However, plants cultivated at low R:FR showed reduced maximum Rubisco carboxylation rate and maximum electron transport rate, which indicated that far-red light reduced the photosynthetic capacity in lettuce. Nevertheless, 3D model simulations demonstrated that plants exposed to enhanced far-red light exhibited increased light interception and whole-plant photosynthesis. The integrated analysis of photosynthetic parameters and plant morphological changes on the photosynthetic rate of the whole plant indicated that the positive effects of plant morphological changes outweighed the negative impacts of photosynthetic parameters. These results implied that far-red light-induced morphological changes enhanced light interception and whole-plant photosynthesis, thereby increased lettuce yield.
