Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect UV-B did not significantly decrease lettuce shoot fresh or dry weight.
- Intervention effect Photosynthetic gas exchange measures fell during the first four irradiation days and recovered at day seven.
- Intervention effect UV-B increased lettuce AsA, GSH and H2O2 levels significantly.
- Association H2O2 level correlated positively with AsA and GSH levels.
- Intervention effect UV-B upregulated expression of most genes encoding AsA recycling enzymes.
- Intervention effect UV-B downregulated associated AsA recycling enzyme activities.
- Mechanism The authors propose that elevated AsA contributes to the AsA–GSH cycle and downregulates AO activity and expression.
- Mechanism The authors suggest feedback between AsA recycling enzyme expression and activity regulates AsA homeostasis.
- Recommendation The authors recommend short-term UV-B supplementation to enhance lettuce AsA content.
