Meta-Analysis of the Impact of Far-Red Light on Vegetable Crop Growth and Quality.

Far-red lights (FRs), with a wavelength range between 700 and 800 nm, have substantial impacts on plant growth, especially horticultural crops. Previous studies showed conflicting results on the effects of FRs on vegetable growth and quality. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis on the influence of FRs on vegetable growth, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of their effects on the growth and nutritional indicators of vegetables.

Technology of plant factory for vegetable crop speed breeding.

Sustaining crop production and food security are threatened by a burgeoning world population and adverse environmental conditions. Traditional breeding methods for vegetable crops are time-consuming, laborious, and untargeted, often taking several years to develop new and improved varieties. The challenges faced by a long breeding cycle need to be overcome.

Omics Analysis Unveils the Pathway Involved in the Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Tomato Seedling and Fruits.

The purple tomato variety 'Indigo Rose' (InR) is favored due to its bright appearance, abundant anthocyanins and outstanding antioxidant capacity. is associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis in 'Indigo Rose' plants. However, residual anthocyanins still present in seedlings and fruit peel indicated there was an anthocyanin induction pathway that is independent of HY5 in plants.

Effects of Pre-Harvest Supplemental UV-A Light on Growth and Quality of Chinese Kale.

The effects of supplemental UV-A (385 nm) period and UV-A intensity for 5 days before harvest (DBH) on growth, antioxidants, antioxidant capacity, and glucosinolates contents in Chinese kale ( var. Bailey) were studied in plant factory. In the experiment of the UV-A period, three treatments were designed with 10 W·m UV-A supplement, T1(5 DBH), T2 (10 DBH), and no supplemental UV-A as control.

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical study on Wufuxinnaoqing Soft Capsule () in treatment of chronic stable angina patients with blood stasis syndrome.

Objective: To confirm the efficacy and safety of Wufuxinnaoqing Soft Capsule (, WSC) in the treatment of chronic stable angina (blood stasis syndrome).

Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with superiority test was designed. A total of 240 patients with chronic stable angina (blood stasis syndrome) from multiple centers were randomly and equally assigned to the treatment group and the control group.
