| Popis: | Weiguo Fu, Pingping Li, Yanyou Wu, Jianjian Tang, 2012. Effects of different light intensities on anti-oxida tive enzyme activity, quality and biomass in lettuce . Hort. Sci. (Prague), 39: 129–134. Recently, the worldwide demand for romaine lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) has been increasing. Thus, regulation measures of supplementary or shading light are often used in the production of lettuce in some regions. However, inconsistent results on the light saturation point of lettuce from previous studies do not facilitate the regulation of light intensity. In the present study, the effects of different light intensities on anti-oxidative enzyme activity, yield and quality of let tuce were investigated. The results reveal the following: (1) judged by the dynamics of anti-oxidative enzyme activity, there was no light stress to occurr in the 100, 200 and 400 μmol/m 2 s treatments, a mild light stress occurred in the 600 μmol/m 2 s treatment, and a serious light stress occurred in the 800 μmol/m 2 s treatment; (2) increased light intensity gradually reduced the contents of soluble protein and nitrate in lettuce, whereas the content of soluble sugar remarkably increased. The biomass of a single plant of lettuce in the 600 µmol/m 2 s treatment was the highest and second highest in the 400 µmol/m 2 s treatment but was the lowest in the 100 µmol/m 2 s treatment. No significant difference in the bio mass of single plant was observed between the 400 and 600 µmol/m 2 s treatments. Based on these results, the range of 400 µmol/m 2 s to 600 µmol/m 2 s is a recommendable light intensity for lettuce production. |
