1. An interface for converting a desired physiological plant response into control instructions for at least one lighting system having at least adjustable lighting property, said interface comprising:

  • a receiver for receiving a desired physiological plant response;

    a processor functionally coupled to said receiver for converting said desired physiological plant response into said control instructions, anda transmitter, functionally coupled to said processor, for transmitting said control instructions,wherein said desired physiological plant response is defined as a set point in a multi-dimensional horticulture action space, said multi-dimensional horticulture action space being represented by at least two dimensions selected from a first dimension representative for a desired photosynthesis action, a second dimension representative for a desired phototropine action, a third dimension representative for a desired phytochrome Pr action, and a fourth dimension representative for a desired phytochrome Pfr action,wherein said processor is functionally coupled to a memory comprising a description of a subspace of the multi-dimensional horticulture action space representing points in the multi-dimensional horticulture action space that are convertible into control instructions executable by a lighting system, andwherein said processor is adapted for mapping said set point to a target point in said subspace and determine corresponding control instructions for a lighting system.
