Integrated non-targeted and targeted metabolomics analysis reveals the mechanism of inhibiting lignification and optimizing the quality of pea sprouts by combined application of nano selenium and lentinans.

Overall, the combined sprays of nano selenium and lentinans showed synergistic effects in delaying lignification and optimizing quality of pea sprouts. This study provides a novel and practicable technology for delaying lignification in the cultivation of edible sprouts. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
