Abstract

Understanding of environmental factors affecting various aspects of plant growth and development is crucial in plant factories' design and operation. This chapter first defines vegetative growth (shoots and root growth) and then discusses the typical abiotic environmental factors (temperature, light intensity, light quality, photoperiod, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, air current speed, and nutrient and root-zone environment) affecting plant growth and development. Then transpiration and translocation of sugar are briefly described using the general physiological understanding of water potential and the sink-source relationship.
