The aim of this study was to investigate the different combinations red (R) and blue (B) light emitting diode (LEDs') lighting effects on growth, pigment content, antioxidant capacity in lettuce, spinach, kale, basil, pepper a growth chamber. chamber equipped with R B percentages based total intensity: 83% + 17% B; 91% 9% 95% 5% control 100% R. photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), photoperiod, temperature, relative humidity were maintained at 200 ± 5 μmol m-2 s-1, 16 h, 25/21 2.5 °C,...
The use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for plant production is a new field research that has great promise to optimize wavelength-specific lighting systems precise management physiological responses and important secondary metabolite production. In our experiment, hydroponically cultured kale plants ( Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala D.C.) were grown under specific LED wavelength treatments 730, 640, 525, 440, 400 nm determine changes in the accumulation chlorophylls, carotenoids,...
We analyzed near-complete population (composite) genomic sequences for coexisting acidophilic iron-oxidizing Leptospirillum group II and III bacteria (phylum Nitrospirae) an extrachromosomal plasmid from a Richmond Mine, Iron Mountain, CA, acid mine drainage biofilm. Community proteomic analysis of the genomically characterized sample two other biofilms identified 64.6% 44.9% predicted proteins groups III, respectively, 20% proteins. The share 92% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity >60% their...
The impacts of wavelengths in 500–600 nm on plant response and their underlying mechanisms remain elusive required further investigation. Here, we investigated the effect light quality leaf area growth, biomass, pigments content, net photosynthetic rate (Pn) across three Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, along with changes transcription, photosynthates antioxidative enzyme activity. Eleven-leaves plants were treated BL; 450 nm, AL; 595 RL; 650 FL; 400–700 as control. RL significantly...
Green leafy vegetables are important sources of dietary carotenoids, and members Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala rank highest for reported levels lutein β-carotene. Twenty-three B. cultigens were field grown under similar fertility over two separate years evaluated leaf β-carotene accumulation. Choice cultigen year significantly affected carotenoid levels. Lutein concentrations ranged from a high 13.43 mg per 100 g fresh weight (FW) `Toscano' to low 4.84 mg/100 FW 343-93G1. accumulations...
The importance of appropriate, accurate measurement and reporting environmental parameters in plant sciences is a significant aspect quality assurance for all researchers their research. There clear need ensuring research across the world can be compared, understood where necessary replicated by fellow researchers. A common set guidelines to educate, assist encourage comparativeness great importance. On other hand, level effort attention detail an individual researcher should commensurate...
The diversity of microalgal species is colossal; however, only a few are better known and have been investigated relatively well. Lately, microalgae garnering great consideration because their potential to serve as feedstock for either biofuel or nutraceutical production. They the capability producing storing desired products cell metabolites, adapting themselves when there change in environmental conditions (pH, temperature, light, carbon dioxide, salinity, nutrients). current review...
Recent irradiance level improvements in light-emitting diode (LED) technology has allowed this equipment to compete as suitable replacements traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps hydroponics growth environments. The current study compares LED and HPS lighting technologies for supplemental a greenhouse at HydroSerre Mirabel (Mirabel, Quebec, Canada) the of Boston lettuce ( Lactuca sativa var. capitata ). light treatments were applied 2 hours before sunset 8.5 after extend photoperiod...
Light is one of the most crucial parameters for enclosed cannabis (Cannabis sativa) production, as it highly influences growth, secondary metabolite and operational costs. The objective this study was to investigate evaluate impact six light spectra on C. sativa (‘Babbas Erkle Cookies’ accession) growth traits (cannabinoid terpene) profiles. evaluated included blue (430 nm), red (630 rose + 630 nm, ratio 1:10), purple 2:1), amber (595 nm) LED treatments, in addition a high-pressure sodium...
Reliable and automated 3-dimensional (3D) plant shoot segmentation is a core prerequisite for the extraction of phenotypic traits at organ level. Combining deep learning point clouds can provide effective ways to address challenge. However, fully supervised methods require datasets be point-wise annotated, which extremely expensive time-consuming. In our work, we proposed novel weakly framework, Eff-3DPSeg, 3D segmentation. First, high-resolution soybean were reconstructed using low-cost...
Crop plants are adversely affected by a variety of environmental factors, with air temperature being one the most influential. Plants have developed number methods in adaptation to variations. However, there is limited research determine what impact has on production secondary plant compounds, such as carotenoid pigments. Kale ( Brassica oleracea L.) and spinach Spinacia high concentrations lutein β-carotene carotenoids. The objectives this study were effects different growing temperatures...
