The photon flux density (PFD) and spectrum regulate the growth, quality attributes, and postharvest physiology of leafy vegetables grown indoors. However, limited information is available on how a photon spectrum enriched with a broad range of different wavebands regulates these factors. To determine this, we grew baby-leaf lettuce 'Rouxai' under a PFD of 200 µmol m s provided by warm-white (WW; control) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) supplemented with either 30 µmol m s of ultraviolet-A (+UV30) or 50 µmol m s of blue (+B50), green (+G50), red (+R50), or WW (+WW50) light. We then quantified growth attributes and accumulated secondary metabolites at harvest and during storage in darkness at 5 °C. Additional +G50 light increased shoot fresh and dry weight by 53% and 59% compared to the control. Relative chlorophyll concentration increased under +UV30, +G50, and especially +B50. At harvest, +B50 increased total phenolic content (TPC) by 25% and anthocyanin content (TAC) by 2.0-fold. Additionally, +G50 increased antiradical activity (DPPH) by 29%. After each day of storage, TPC decreased by 2.9 to 7.1% and DPPH by 3.0 to 6.2%, while TAC degradation was less pronounced. Principal component analysis indicated a distinct effect of +G50 on the lettuce at harvest. However, concentrations of metabolites before and during storage were usually greatest under the +B50 and +R50 treatments.
光子通量密度(PFD)和光谱调节室内种植叶菜类蔬菜的生长、品质属性及采后生理学特性。然而,关于富含多种不同波段的光子光谱如何调节这些因素的信息有限。为了确定这一点,我们在由暖白色(WW;对照)发光二极管(LED)提供的200 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ 的PFD下种植小叶生菜‘鲁赛’,并分别补充30 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ 的紫外线-A(+UV30)或50 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ 的蓝光(+B50)、绿光(+G50)、红光(+R50)或暖白色光(+WW50)。然后,我们在收获时以及在5℃黑暗储存期间对生长属性进行了量化,并测定了次生代谢产物的积累量。与对照相比,额外的+G50光使地上部鲜重和干重分别增加了53%和59%。在+UV30、+G50尤其是+B50处理下,相对叶绿素浓度增加。收获时,+B50使总酚含量(TPC)增加了25%,花青素含量(TAC)增加了2.0倍。此外,+G50使抗自由基活性(DPPH)提高了29%。储存的每一天后,TPC下降了2.9%至7.1%,DPPH下降了3.0%至6.2%,而TAC的降解不太明显。主成分分析表明,+G50在收获时对生菜有明显影响。然而,在+B50和+R50处理下,储存前和储存期间代谢产物的浓度通常最高。
