Effect of type of light source on the growth performance of Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) in UPM transgenic greenhouse

Arabidopsis thaliana is a small flowering plant that is widely used as a model organism in plant biology especially in agricultural technology. Arabidopsis is a member of the mustard (Brassicaceae) family, which offers important advantages for basic research in genetics and molecular biology. It is...
