Abstract:Pakchoi (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis) is one of the most widely consumed
vegetables
in Asian countries, and it is high in secondary metabolites. The availability,
quantity, and quality of light play a critical role in the growth
and development of plants. In this study, we investigated the effect
of LEDs (light-emitting diodes; white, blue, red, and red + blue)
on anthocyanin, glucosinolates, and phenolic levels in red pakchoi
baby leaves. On the 24th day after sowing (DAS), red baby pakchoi
leaves were har… Show more
