Dear Giridhar,

Greetings

1. Artificial LED lighting enhances growth characteristics like phytochrome sysytem which definitely enhance phenolic production like flavanoids.

2.Read Paper

An Overview of LEDs’ Effects on the Production of Bioactive Compounds and Crop Quality

https://www.mobot.org/jwcross/duckweed/phytochrome.html

3. You can isolate gene producing phenolic compounds or by cloning expressing in suitable host system you can enhance phenolics. But I will suggess you only 1 and 2 only.

With regards

Giridhar Kalidasu
