Blue:red LED ratios coordinate pigment accumulation and vacuolar pH to reshape petal color and VOC profiles in Rosa hybrida 'Juicy Terrazza'.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLight quality is a controllable signal in protected horticulture that can shift rose petal color and scent. However, how defined blue:red (B:R) ratios jointly influence pigment composition, vacuolar pH, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) across development remains not fully understood.
resultsRosa hybrida 'Juicy Terrazza' plants were grown under six LED spectra (CK, B, R, 1B1R, 1B2R, 2B1R) in a randomized complete block design (RCBD; n = 3 blocks). A moderately blue-enriched spectrum (2B1R) increased late-stage yellowness (b*) and carotenoid accumulation at S4, whereas red and red-biased spectra favored anthocyanin accumulation. Vacuolar pH differed among treatments at S3-S4 and showed associations with color coordinates. VOC profiling at S4 within a fixed sampling window revealed spectrum-dependent compositional shifts, including enrichment of apocarotenoid-related volatiles under 2B1R. Transcript analyses showed stage-dependent regulation of flavonoid and carotenoid pathway genes, with the largest treatment divergence at S2.
conclusionsDefined B:R ratios reshape warm-toned rose traits through coordinated changes in pigment pools, vacuolar pH, and, at S4, VOC profiles, supporting spectral strategies that target specific developmental windows to optimize ornamental quality.
