Contrary to Red, Blue Monochromatic Light Improves the Bioactive Compound Content in Broccoli Sprouts

Broccoli sprouts are rich in health-promoting bioactive compounds. Their content depends on both cultivation light quality and temperature. However, these effects have been previously addressed in isolation. Here, the dual inputs of cultivation light quality [blue (B), red (R), mixture of R and B (R...

Cotyledon content in these metabolites was generally stimulated by B, and reduced under R or R+UVA. Temperature affected metabolite content depending on the metabolite, organ, and light quality.

Contrary to Red, Blue Monochromatic Light Improves the Bioactive Compound Content in Broccoli Sprouts
description Broccoli sprouts are rich in health-promoting bioactive compounds. Their content depends on both cultivation light quality and temperature.
