Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Red light at 30 µmol/(m2·s) gave maximum total folate accumulation, a 24% increase over darkness.
- Observation 5-CH3-THF is the dominant folate component in wheat seedlings.
- Association Red light irradiation significantly increased 5-CH3-THF.
- Association Under red light, leaf folate content was higher than in endosperm or roots and more sensitive to light.
- Association Red light up-regulated the expression of GCH1.
- Association Red light up-regulated the expression of ADCS.
- Association Red light enhanced the activity of GCH1 and ADCS.
- Association Red light increased the content of folate synthesis precursors, including pterin and p-aminobenzoic acid.
- Mechanism Light-promoted folate accumulation is attributed to higher folate precursor content, enzyme activity and gene expression.
