Lettuce ( L.) is a popular leafy vegetable valued for its dietary fiber, antioxidants, and beneficial vitamins. This study presents a comprehensive spatio-temporal analysis of the lettuce metabolome, revealing complex dynamics in metabolite accumulation influenced by plant age, leaf position, proximodistal distribution within a leaf, and head closure.

Bolting time is an important agronomic trait in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) production. Premature bolting significantly reduces crop quality and marketability. Here, we report map-based cloning and characterization of a LsKN1 gene that controls bolting in lettuce.

High temperature (HT) is an environmental factor that considerably affects plant physiology, development, crop yield, and economic value. HT can cause diseases and early bolting of leaf lettuce, thereby reducing the yield and quality of leaf lettuce. Herein, we used two leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers identified the entire LsGRAS gene family in lettuce, finding 59 genes distributed on nine chromosomes, all localized in the nucleus and classified into nine subfamilies.
  • * Expression analysis revealed that melatonin treatment significantly increased the transcript levels of these genes under high temperatures, with silencing certain genes accelerating bolting and flower bud formation, providing insights into mechanisms that may help improve lettuce resilience to heat stress.
