Light quality affects plant leaf growth and its metabolism of amino acids and polyphenols. Anoectochilus roxburghii has been used for food , medicine, and ornamental purposes. To obtain the optimal light quality for improved accumulation of metabolites in A. roxburghii in vitro . The seedings were cultured under the white light (W), blue light (B), red light (R), red: blue light = 1:2 (R1B2), red: blue light = 1:1 (R1B1), red: blue light = 2:1 (R2B1). Twenty compounds in raw leaves were in situ rapidly identified within 20 s by neutral desorption-extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ND-EESI-MS) without any sample pretreatment, including eight amino acids , eleven polyphenols, and kinsenoside. Meanwhile, leaf area and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) were evaluated. Our results showed that leaf area and antioxidant enzyme activities of the R2B1 were significantly higher than B or R group. The red-blue light increased the content of isoleucine , histidine , serine , arginine, and promoted the accumulation of caffeic acid , ferulic acid , quercetin , myricetin , kaempferol , and rutin in phenylpropane metabolism, especially in the R2B1, which could be used as the optimal light quality. ND-EESI-MS could enhance our understanding of the effect of light quality on the accumulation of amino acids and polyphenols in A. roxburghii .

Diatoms exhibit great potential for biofuels, high value-added production from wastewater and promoting carbon neutrality. Fucoxanthin is identified as the main carotenoid in diatoms, which is a photosynthetic pigment with a variety of biological activities and physiological functions. Light quality is essential for microalgal growth, photosynthesis and intracellular metabolism, and microalgal cells often respond to the effects of light to regulate their biochemical makeup. Therefore, goal of this research was to develop a strategy for altering light quality and intensity to maximize fucoxanthin generation, in line with the photoresponsive traits of Phaeodactylum tricornutum and to investigate the underlying mechanism based on metabolomics and transcriptomics. Different light qualities, culture strategies, light intensities and light ratios were explored and optimized, and the findings illustrated that the optimal fucoxanthin production was observed when under the red light during the initial phase, followed by a transition to the blue-green mixed light (60μmol m −2 s −1 ) conditions in the subsequent phase. Transcriptome and metabolome analyses showed that the light shift strategy provided sufficient energy and precursors for cell growth and fucoxanthin accumulation by enhancing the EMP pathway, TCA cycle, and light-harvesting complex in photosynthetic system. The present study provides a feasible strategy and mechanism to customize the light quality regulatory strategy to enhance biosynthesis of target bioactive compounds, and provides a theoretical basis for further investigation of the regulatory mechanism, which can provide a foundation for microalgal fucoxanthin production.

Broccoli microgreens represent a novel type of vegetable characterized by high levels of bioactive compounds. Here, we investigated the effects of light-emitting diode (LED) light quality on the development and nutritional uptake of broccoli microgreens. The plants were exposed to five distinct light treatments: white, single red, and red: blue at 5:1, 5:3, and 5:5 ratios. The soluble sugars, nutrients, and secondary metabolites of broccoli sprout extracts were examined using high-performance liquid chromatography and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry under various light-quality conditions. In addition, the expression levels of genes encoding important enzymes in the glucosinolates (GLs) biosynthesis pathway were examined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Overall, the findings demonstrated that mixed red-blue light, especially the 5:1 red: blue ratio, was beneficial for broccoli microgreens in terms of their hypocotyl length, fresh weight, edible rate, soluble proteins, vitamin C, total phenolics, total flavonoids, and GLs. Our findings provide a foundation and reference point for selecting the most appropriate LED light ratio in microgreens production.

Industrial Seedling Raising (ISR) is increasingly becoming an important part of Modern Agriculture because of its efficient utilization of land, water, and fertilizer as well as its advantages of being not easily affected by the weather. However, the high cost and high energy consumption of light sources for plant growth is limiting the popularization of ISR technology. Phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) make use of relatively affordable red phosphor and blue light chips, providing an adjustable spectrum to optimize plant growth. To identify the energy-saving light quality of pc-LEDs, we investigated the effects of a variety of light qualities on the growth of tobacco seedlings. Y 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce 3+ , CaAlSiN 3 :Eu 2+ , KAl 11 O 17 :Eu 2+ phosphors were combined with the blue light chip according to different proportions to produce the following light sources: CK (white light), T1 (blue light), T2 (red light), T3 (red: blue light ratio = 1:4), T4 (red: blue light ratio = 4:1). The tobacco variety Xiangyan7 grown continuously under T1, T2, T3, and T4 significantly increased the leaf area, stem length, biomass, root area and main root length compared with those grown under white light. Among the five kinds of light qualities tested, T4 treatment exerted the best effect on leaf development and biomass increase, while T2 exerted the best effect on stem elongation . The cytological analysis demonstrated that the promotion of the cell size and cell number of leaf epidermal cells by T1-T4 might contribute to the leaf expansion. Further analysis at the molecular level suggested that the light quality affected the RNA levels of the genes involved in cell division and expansion. When tobacco seedlings reached the same biomass, T1-T4 light sources saved 71%, 86%, 80% and 89% of electric energy respectively compared with white light. Therefore, the application of specific pc-LEDs not only reduces the cost of light source production, but also saves energy consumption, offering great potential for ISR technology to cut costs and increase efficiency.

Withering is the first and key process that influences tea quality, with light quality being a key regulatory factor. However, effects of withering light quality (WLQ) on transformation and formation pathways of tea aroma and volatile metabolites (VMs) remain unclear. In the present study, four WLQs were set up to investigate their effects on tea aroma and VMs. The results showed that blue and red light reduced the grassy aroma and improved the floral and fruity aroma of tea. Based on GC–MS/MS, 83 VMs were detected. Through VIP, significant differences, and OAV analysis, 13 key differential VMs were screened to characterize the differential impacts of WLQ on tea aroma. Further analysis of the evolution and metabolic pathways revealed that glycoside metabolism was the key pathway regulating tea aroma through WLQ. Blue light withering significantly enhanced glycosides hydrolysis and amino acids deamination, which was beneficial for the enrichment of floral and fruity VMs, such as geraniol, citral, methyl salicylate, 2-methyl-butanal, and benzeneacetaldehyde, as well as the transformation of grassy VMs, such as octanal, naphthalene, and cis -3-hexenyl isovalerate, resulting in the formation of tea floral and fruity aroma. The results provide theoretical basis and technical support for the targeted processing of high-quality tea.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of light quality on the morphological traits, leaf anatomical characteristics, antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase) activities, photosynthetic pigments content, and bioactive compounds (phenols, flavonoids, and polysaccharides) content in Anoectochilus roxburghii. Plants of A. roxburghii were grown under light filtered through four differently colored films for 8 months. The four treatments were red film (RF), blue film (BF), yellow film (YF), and colorless plastic film (control, CK). Compared with the A. roxburghii plants in CK, those in the BF treatment showed significantly greater stem diameter, fresh weight, leaf area, stomatal frequency, chlorophyll content (Chl a, Chl b, Chl a+b), antioxidant enzyme activities, and active compound (polysaccharides, flavones) content. The plants in the RF treatment showed the greatest plant height and phenolics contents. These results show that growing A. roxburghii plants under blue film is a useful technique to improve quality. This technique is conducive to achieving large-scale sustainable production of high-quality plant materials.
