In the present study, the butterhead lettuce cultivar was analyzed by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled online to diode array detection (DAD), electrospray ionization (ESI) and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (QToF/MS) in the positive and negative ion mode in order to characterize its polyphenolic profile for the first time. The instrument acquisition mode MS was used to collect automatic and simultaneous information of exact mass at high and low collision energies of precursor ions as well as other ions produced as a result of their fragmentation. One hundred eleven phenolic compounds were identified in the acidified hydromethanolic extract of freeze-dried leaves of butterhead lettuce cultivar: 40 hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, 21 hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives, 2 hydroxyphenylacetic acid derivatives, 18 flavonols, 9 flavones, one flavanone, 7 coumarins, one hydrolysable tannin and 12 lignans. Forty-seven of these compounds have been tentatively identified for the first time in lettuce.

Article Synopsis
- Lettuce, a cool-season crop from the Asteraceae family, was affected by a leaf disease in Beijing, China, showing dark lesions and a disease incidence of 10-40%.
- Infected leaves exhibited translucent spots that developed into large necrotic areas, prompting a series of tests on bacteria isolated from the samples.
- Pathogenicity tests on lettuce confirmed the disease symptoms within 7-10 days after exposure to specific bacterial isolates, which were then analyzed genetically to determine their identity.

Using stress elicitors in fruits and vegetables is considered a good strategy to increase the content of bioactive compounds in plant foods. However, bioactive compounds can affect the sensory characteristics of food products, and little is known about their shelf-life stability in fresh produce treated with elicitors. In the present work, carotenoids and polyphenols were quantified by spectrophotometric methods in red and green butterhead lettuce treated with elicitors that had previously been demonstrated to increase bioactive compounds: arachidonic acid (AA), methyl jasmonate (MJ), and Harpin protein (HP).

In August 2023, butterhead lettuce ( L.) presented wilting, chlorosis, and about 2 cm of reddish-tan internal discoloration in the crown from a commercial greenhouse in Orange County, North Carolina. Plant collapse beginning with the outer leaves near the soil surface was observed with 25% disease incidence.

Introduction: Indoor agriculture, especially plant factories, becomes essential because of the advantages of cultivating crops yearly to address global food shortages. Plant factories have been growing in scale as commercialized. Developing an on-site system that estimates the fresh weight of crops non-destructively for decision-making on harvest time is necessary to maximize yield and profits.

Lettuce, an important leafy vegetable crop worldwide, has rich variations in plant architecture. Butterhead lettuce, a popular horticultural type, has a unique plant architecture with loose leafy heads. The genetic and molecular mechanisms for such a compact plant architecture remain unclear.
