Through its impact on morphogenesis, light is the key environmental factor that alters plant structural development; however, the understanding how light controls plant growth and developmental processes is still poor and needs further research. For this purpose, a Petri dish and pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different LEDs, i.e., white light (WL), red light (RL), blue light (BL), and orange light (OL) on morphology, gas-exchange parameters, and antioxidant capacity of Brassica napus. Compared with WL, RL significantly promoted plant growth and biomass, contents of photosynthetic pigments, and gas-exchange parameters in comparison to BL and OL. However, RL also helped decline malondialdehyde and proline contents and superoxide anion and peroxide production rate. In contrast, BL and OL significantly reduced plant growth and biomass, gas-exchange attributes and increased the activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase in Petri dish as well as in pot experiment. These results suggest that red light could improve plant growth in B. napus plants through activating gas-exchange attributes, reduce reactive oxygen species accumulation, and promote antioxidant capacity.

Additional key words: antioxidative enzymes; light quality; photosynthesis.
