The individual effects of light intensity and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on plant performance are relatively well understood
Research gap analysis derived from 3 agriculture papers in our local library.
The gap
While the individual effects of light intensity and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on plant performance are relatively well understood, their interactive influence on leaf structure and function remains underexplored.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the conclusions and abstract and limitations section of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 2024 and 2025, spanning 3 journals. Those papers have been cited 31 times in total.

We suggest that extended light/dark cycles may increase light use efficiency compared to conventional photoperiod and, therefore, reduce product cost, but for practical application, the effects need to be further explored for individual plant species or even cultivars.

The scientific explanation of the above lighting strategies remains to be clearly revealed - The variation diversity of CL is high, which can regulate plant growth and development, as well as yield quality, at multiple plant physiological levels - Plant species and cultivars might be another reason for the contradictory results
