growing vegetables under different light

If the vegetables are growing illuminated exclusively by blue light,
will they be different in taste from the vegetables which are growing
illuminated by, say, exclusively green light ? What would be the
taste ?
(I presume that the chlorofylle in the plants needs to be illuminated
by the light of a certain wavelength or above, in order for the
chemical reaction of photosynthesis to take place. This will probably
result in different taste molecules been formed. That's all I know...)
Not quite what you want but mentions tomato's taste effected by light:
