Table 8 The interactive effects of lettuce variety, light quality and three replacement methods of nutrient solution on catalase enzyme activity and superoxide dismutase enzyme activity in lettuce plants.

From: Manipulation of light spectrum is an effective tool to regulate biochemical traits and gene expression in lettuce under different replacement methods of nutrient solution
