| description | Farming is an important development direction of agriculture in the future, which is affected by various environmental factors, among which light plays an important role, and it is essential for the growth of organisms in nature. LED technology can regulate the growth and development of vegetables by adjusting the spectral composition of light. In order to explore light quality formulation with the aim of improving the quality and yield of celery, we set up six experimental treatments: W (white light), R (red light), B (blue light), 3R1B (red light/blue light = 3:1), 4R1B (red light/blue light = 4:1), and 5R1B (red light/blue light = 5:1). The results indicated that the 3R1B and 4R1B illumination treatments were conducive to promoting the growth of celery, enhancing plant height and root length. Specifically, the 3R1B treatment optimized the nutritional quality of celery by increasing the levels of soluble protein, soluble sugar, and total flavonoids while reducing nitrate and cellulose contents and elevating the anthocyanin content in petioles. Additionally, both treatments enhanced the contents of Ca and Mg in celery leaves and petioles. Furthermore, the 3R1B treatment promoted the accumulation of photosynthetic pigments, upregulated the activities of ANS and FNS enzymes, and induced the upregulation of gene expression levels of FNS and ANS, thereby enhancing the nutritional value of celery. |
