RNA-seq analysis of sprouted peanuts under LED light conditions
This project examines the impact of different LED light spectra (red, green, blue, and control) on resveratrol accumulation and gene expression in the Korean peanut cultivar 'Sinpalkwang'. RNA-seq and differential expression analyses were performed to identify genes and pathways responsive to light conditions. Key genes involved in photosynthesis, stress responses, and metabolite transport were differentially expressed, and results were validated using qRT-PCR. The findings demonstrate that LED light spectra can modulate both secondary metabolite production and transcriptional regulation in sprouted peanuts. These data provide a valuable resource for understanding light-dependent molecular mechanisms and may support the development of functional foods with enhanced health benefits.
