Optimization process of plant growth environment for Improving content compounds using physiological and genetic information in a closed-type plant factory

Abstract

A closed-type plant factory (plant factory) can control growth environments in confined spaces with artiticial lights and hydroponic systems. The growth environment of a plant factory can be modulated without having to consider the natural climate, so that high value plants rich in useful compounds or low in toxic compounds can be uniformly and consistently produced. However, the process of oplimizing growth condition settings to increase or decrease the target compounds tends to be complicated, given the various control parameters in a plant factory.
