Abstract
To elucidate the adaptive strategies of Glechoma longituba in response to different light-quality colored films, the growth, photosynthesis, chloroplast ultrastructure, and triterpene acid accumulation were analyzed. In this study, four colored films improved electron transport and maintained the function of PSII, and allocated more light energy absorbed for photochemical reactions, thus increasing the photosynthetic capacity and ultimately improving dry mass accumulation. Additionally, blue film (BF) and green film (GF) enhanced photosynthesis by increasing stomatal openness and chlorophyll contents and maintaining chloroplast structural integrity, thereby promoting dry mass and triterpene acid (TA) accumulation of G. longituba. Red film excessively increased starch grains, inhibited photosynthate output and consequently reduced the concentration and yield of ursolic acid (UA). Yellow film decreased stomatal openness and chlorophyll concentrations, which was not conducive to chloroplast development, and also decreased the concentration and yield of UA. In conclusion, the application of BF and GF may represent an effective cultivation practice that can be used to achieve the highest TA yields in plantings of G. longituba.
