Hey that's pretty cool. Could be the sort of red lamp that's used in a photographic dark room.
I'd like to know what sort of changes are taking place in the metabolic function of the seedlings that is so strong it lasts during the growing season. They didn't say. Maybe they didn't know?
Very interesting.

I emailed the person that put the article on there and I am waiting for a reply. I find it interesting that exposing a seedling to red light will prevent mildew even in the mature plant. If anyone knows more info I would be interested.

When one gets brownie points for published works one works to get published reports. It dosen't matter a ding dat that the report says absolutely nothing. Typical graduate study nonsense and the very reason stuff like this gets attention.
...they both likely need help to tie their shoes in the morning and the bakery store to make their coffee. If you can catch them tieing their shoes I can tell you where to file that report. ]:o)
