who among the following has studied the influence of light on photosynthesis first
Answers
Answer:Light intensity and quality are among the most critical environmental factors for crop physiology and biochemistry (Yang et al., 2018a). For most crop plants, even a slight increase or decrease in light intensity leads to considerable changes in leaf morphology and structure (Wu et al., 2017). According to past comparative studies, the dry matter of roots, stems, leaves, and whole plant as well as the photosynthetic rate, transpiration, and stomatal conductance, and the stem diameter decreased in low light conditions (Yang et al., 2014, 2017). In addition, crop plants produce smaller and thinner leaves under low light conditions than corresponding leaves in full sunlight conditions (Wu et al., 2017). However, shading environments increased the plant height and lodging rate which hinders the transportation of nutrients, water, and photosynthetic products and ultimately causes huge losses to agriculture production. Taken together, light intensity is the main factors which controls the central process of plants such as germination, leaf proliferation and expansion, photosynthesis, buds and flower initiation, and cell division (Kong et al., 2016; Wu et al., 2018; Yang et al., 2018b). Indeed, the numerous plant processes improve with increasing light intensity up to a moderate level which bring dramatic developmental and physiological changes to occur, leading to the rapid increase of these processes (Yang et al., 2015; Wu et al., 2016).

Explanation:Light intensity
Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply.
