This extensive analysis reveals the significant influence of artificial light, especially light-emitting diodes (LEDs), on enhancing plant growth for sustainable agriculture and horticulture optimization. The production of seedlings is an essential component of contemporary agriculture. While study is conducted on the complex relationships between plants and artificial light sources. Controlled light conditions in growth chambers and vertical farming systems are excellent solutions that enable year-round and space-efficient seedling production. It is possible to draw the conclusion that using artificial light can result in increased biomass, faster growth rates, and better crop quality. This review highlights the effects of various light spectra, intensities, and durations on critical physiological processes involved in seed germination, vegetative growth, and overall seedling development during propagation. Apart from that, the new study looks into the complexity of photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis, and photoperiodic reactions, providing useful insights for customising light conditions for different crops and developmental stages.
