Lower R:B ratio reduced sugars by 48%.
Lactuca sativaVerbatim
e0“Decreasing the R:B ratio from R:B 87.5:12.5 to R:B 60:40 , there was a decrease in fresh weight (20%) and carbohydrate concentration (48% reduction in both sugars and starch), whereas pigment concentrations (anthocyanins, chlorophyll, and carotenoids), phenolic compounds, and various minerals all increased.”
