helping to increase the availability of this crop as an oilseed. The objectives of these studies were to determine fresh yield and nutritional quality traits of canola sprouts and to assess the potential of canola sprouts by comparing their composition

study on sweet bell pepper showed no difference between grafted and nongrafted plants in the nutritional quality parameters evaluated ( Colla et al., 2008 ). Furthermore, findings of improved nutritional quality of tomato fruit by grafting have also been

Chl b were calculated according to Porra et al. (1989) and were used to calculate Chl a+b concentration and Chl a/b ratio. Nutritional quality measurement. Six plants per treatment were randomly selected for measurements of soluble sugar percent

lettuce. We posed three questions: 1) Does continuous irradiation with alternating red/blue light enhance plant growth? 2) Does it affect nutritional quality, including concentrations of sugar, ascorbic acid, and anthocyanins? 3) What mechanisms are

nutritional quality of lettuce, most studies have focused on providing constant radiation quantities or qualities throughout the production cycle ( Caldwell and Britz, 2006 ; Li and Kubota 2009 ; Lin et al., 2013 ; Ohashi-Kaneko et al., 2007 ; Viršilė et

explaining only 45.1% of the variation, and PC 2 explaining 32.5% ( Fig. 1 ). The nutritional treatment N tended to have higher scores on the positive side of PC 1, with attributes indicative of poor quality such as grapefruit flavor, tingling, astringent

several fruit quality attributes and nutritional status of the kiwifruit cultivar Tsechelidis. Materials and Methods The research was conducted in a commercial kiwifruit [ Actinidia deliciosa (A. chev.) C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson var. deliciosa

Microgreens are tender leafy vegetables harvested after two cotyledons have fully developed, with or without the first true leaves, that are becoming popular in the worldwide markets due to their high nutritional value ( Treadwell et al., 2016

indicated that fertigation method affected tree size and nutrition but had minimal effects on fruit quality in the first four growing seasons, when cropping was initiating and yields were low ( Neilsen et al., 2004a ). It is unknown whether relationships

) regions. Different light qualities or wavelengths have distinctly different biological influences on plants, including plant growth, morphology, photochemical compounds, photosynthesis, organ growth, development, and nutritional quality. For example, G can
