Explants were incubated under 6 light treatments: 100% red LEDs(R), 75% red LEDs + 25%blue LEDs(3 RB), 50% red LEDs + 50% blue LEDs(RB),25% red LEDs + 75% blue LEDs(R3 B), 100% blue LEDs(B) and white LEDs(W). Most of the growth and physiological parameters were significantly higher in3 RB than W. Enhancement of leaf area and chlorophyll concentrations were obtained in B. Leaf stomata were elliptical with the lowest density in 3 RB. However, those in W were round in shape, and those with the smallest size and the highest density were observed in R. Most of the characteristics of microtuberization were also improved in3 RB. The combined spectra of red and blue LEDs increased the number of large microtubers. The fresh weight of individual microtubers in R and W were increased, but not their number. These results suggest that, of the treatments assessed, 3 RB is optimal for the in vitro growth of potato plantlets and the combination of red and blue LEDs is beneficial for microtuberization.展开更多

Owing to the low concentration and dramatic variation, the detection of atmospheric NO_3 radicals is still challenging. In this paper, an LED-based Long Path Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy（LPDOAS） instrument is developed for measuring the atmospheric NO_3 radicals. This instrument is composed of a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, a combined emitting and receiving fiber,and a red LED equipped with a thermostat, and has a center wavelength of 660 nm, covering the NO_3 strongest absorption peak（662 nm）. The influence of LED temperature fluctuations is discussed. The temperature of the LED lamp with a home-made thermostat is tested, showing a stability of ±0.1℃. The principle and fitting analyses of LED-LPDOAS are presented. A retrieval example and a time series of NO_3 radical concentrations with good continuity for one night are shown. The detection limit of NO_3 for 2.6-km optical path is about 10 ppt.展开更多
