| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Light competition and subsequent growth of dense plant stands were evaluated under light with different red:far-red ratios (R:FRs). The plant stands containing cucumber seedlings with different mutual shading degrees were prepared, and were grown under light with normal R:FR or high R:FR (= 11). Under normal R:FR light, differences in shading degree within individuals became non-significant within 2 days, whereas under high R:FR light, differences were preserved throughout the experimental period, indicating that the unequal competition for light exists between neighbors under high R:FR light. The initial shading degree and dry-matter accumulation of the seedlings during the experimental period were positively correlated under high R:FR light but not under normal R:FR light. The knowledge from this study that light quality affects plant growth by altering the competitive interactions among plants will provide guidance for optimizing the light conditions.
