e0“UVA and B light, alone or combined, similarly increased leaf redness (by up to 72%), total phenolic concentration (by up to 92%), total anthocyanin concentration (by up to 2.7-fold), and relative chlorophyll concentration (by up to 20%) and did not inhibit growth, compared with lettuce grown without EOP supplemental lighting”

- Intervention effect UVA and blue light, alone or combined, increased lettuce leaf redness by up to 72% relative to no supplemental lighting.
- Intervention effect UVA and blue light increased total phenolic concentration by up to 92%.
- Intervention effect UVA and blue light increased total anthocyanin concentration by up to 2.7-fold.
- Intervention effect UVA and blue light did not inhibit lettuce growth compared with no supplemental lighting.
- Recommendation The authors recommend enriched blue light at end of production as a sustainable way to improve lettuce quality without reducing biomass.
