Abstract
This study investigates the effect of nutrient composition and barley cultivars on saponarin production in young barley leaves (YBL) under low-intensity white LED light. Various treatments involving K2HPO4, NaCl, and salicylic acid (SA) were evaluated to be under 6500 K light with 210 PPFD. Among different nutrient combinations, 600 mg L-1 K2HPO4 with 0.1% NaCl significantly enhanced saponarin concentration (12.3 g kgdw-1) and total saponarin amount per plant (150 µg plant-1). In addition, the effects of light intensity on saponarin production were also examined across six barley cultivars, and the high light intensity (500 PPFD) notably increased total saponarin amount (212 µg plant-1) in Keunal-bori than Hyenuri cultivars. Otherwise, Hyenuri cultivar showed the highest total saponarin amount (114 µg plant-1) at low light intensity (100 PPFD), as well as the highest electricity efficiency (201 mg kWh-1). These findings provide valuable insights into optimizing cultivation conditions for each cultivar in plant factories to maximize saponarin production while balancing energy consumption and metabolic efficiency.
