EFFECT OF LED LIGHTING ON GROWTH AND PHENOLIC CONTENT ON IN VITRO SEEDLINGS OF OCIMUM BASILICUM L. CULTIVAR ,,AROMAT DE BUZAU”

The aim of the experiment was to compare the effect of light emitting diodes - LED and fluorescent lamps (FL)d as sources of light on ,,in vitro” growth and development of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L. cultivar ,,Aromat de Buzau”). Sweet basil is an important medicinal and aromatic plant used in...
