These insights highlight the importance of understanding and manipulating light spectra to achieve desired plant traits.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">From Shirin&#8217;s research into manipulating the light spectrum in lettuce production, several key takeaways have emerged for growers.
