Title
The Response of Baby Leaf Lettuce to Selenium Biofortification under Different Lighting Conditions
Aušra Brazaitytė; Jurga Miliauskienė; Viktorija Vaštakaitė-Kairienė; et al. The 1st International Electronic Conference on Agronomy 2021. doi:10.3390/iecag2021-10010
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Lettuce Se content was about 15 times higher at 3 ppm Se than at 1 ppm Se.
- Intervention effect Se content showed similar trends under both B and R light ratios.
- Intervention effect The lowest Se dose in hydroponic solution reduced photosynthesis and chlorophyll content in lettuce.
- Intervention effect Starting Se exposure at the 17th DAS gave lettuce a lower Se content than starting at the 11th DAS.
- Intervention effect Starting Se exposure at the 17th DAS did not reduce lettuce growth compared with the 11th DAS.
- Intervention effect The B:R ratio of 10B:90R% gave a higher Se content in lettuce leaves.
- Recommendation Properly composed Se doses, LED lighting and application time could be a suitable way to cultivate selenium-biofortified baby leaf lettuce without adverse effects on growth.
