Light conversion film can provide the red‒orange light and blue‒violet light necessary for plant photosynthesis, promoting the growth and development of crops and nutrient absorption. Strawberry ( Fragaria×ananassa Duch.) is a major economic crop worldwide, and its related industrial chain drives the economic development of various countries. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of rare earth light conversion films (RPOs) on strawberry cultivation. The temperature, light intensity, light transmittance and proportion of spectra beneficial to the crop production of RPO greenhouses were all greater than those of the control. Compared with those of the control, spongy tissues were sparser in RPO1 and RPO2 leaves. The cross-sectional lengths of the main vascular bundles of strawberry petioles in RPO1 and RPO2 increased by 10.85% and 29.56%, respectively, and the cross-sectional widths decreased by 9.11% and 9.60%, respectively. Compared with those of the control, the total leaf area, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, activity of Rubisco and gene expression levels of Rub-af1 , RubLα , RubLβ , and Rib-cs of RPO1 and RPO2 increased by 29.98%, 10.88%, 49.55%, 42.87%, 10.09%, 9.23%, 10.45%, and 7.27% and 31.51%, 23.61%, 157.67%, 44.94%, 9.95%, 8.71%, 9.46%, and 6.13%, respectively, and the intercellular CO 2 concentration decreased by 32.76% and 37.20%, respectively. Compared with those of the control, the single fruit weight, yield, soluble solids, soluble sugar content, Vc content, and flavonoid contents of RPO1 and RPO2 increased by 30.21%, 13.25%, 32.58%, 24.04%, 8.32%, and 27.94% and 33.37%, 23.83%, 33.48%, 33.48%, and 54.87%, respectively. In conclusion, RPO promotes photosynthesis in strawberry plants by optimizing light intensity and temperature in greenhouses; adjusting the spectrum to change the total leaf area, pigment content, spongy tissue structure, petiole vascular bundles, and Rubisco activity; and regulating the expression of the Rubisco gene, thereby increasing the quality and yield of strawberry plants. Compared with RPO1, RPO2 could be a more suitable film for strawberry production.

Introduction Photosynthesis can affect the growth and yield of crops. Photosynthesis is the ultimate energy source of plants and consists of two key stages: the light and dark reactions [ 1 ]. The light reaction mainly occurs during the photosynthesis of chloroplasts in green plants, where light energy is absorbed and converted to generate NADPH and ATP [ 2 ]. Subsequently, the dark reaction utilizes the generated energy to fix CO 2 and convert it into six types of carbon sugars in the carbon assimilation process [ 3 ]. Photosynthetic carbon assimilation can store energy in the biological world and generate most of the biomass in the biosphere. Rubisco (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate ribulose carboxylase) is the most abundant protein on Earth and is responsible for the vast majority of global carbon fixation [ 4 ], and it is highly sensitive to temperature. With the assistance of different assembly factors, Rubisco can be composed of 8 large subunits (RbcL) and 8 small subunits (RbcS) to form a hexadecamer [ 5 , 6 ]. These assembly factors, large subunits and small subunits affect the activity of Rubisco, thereby influencing photosynthesis. Light is the source of energy for photosynthesis, germination, flowering and fruiting in plants [ 7 ]. Notably, plants exhibit a high absorption efficiency of 90% for blue and red light wavelengths [ 8 ]. Research has demonstrated that light conversion films can modulate spectral transmittance by transforming short wavelengths, such as ultraviolet and violet light, into longer wavelengths, such as red‒orange, blue, and far-red light. This spectral optimization enhances light conditions for improved growth and yield in facility-grown crops [ 9 , 10 ]. Therefore, functional agricultural light transfer films are gradually replacing traditional EVA polyethylene, PVC polyvinyl chloride agricultural films and coated films to improve problems such as low winter and spring yields of facility vegetables, long crop growth cycles and unstable fruit quality. The energy difference in the process of spectral conversion is released in the form of heat energy. Combined with the good thermal insulation performance of the light conversion film, the temperature of the shed covered by the light conversion film is improved [ 11 ]. In autumn cultivation, the increase in air temperature is as high as 0.50°C. The temperature regulation function of the light conversion film reduces the stress caused by higher and lower temperatures to a certain extent. The effects of the light transfer film on the temperature and humidity of the shed differ between sunny days and weak light days (such as cloudy and haze). On sunny days, the average temperature in the light conversion film shed increases by 0.20–6.80°C; on low-light days, it increases by 0.20–1.90°C; under sunny or hazy conditions, the air humidity in the greenhouse with the light-transfer film is 1.73–9.30% higher than that of the control; and on cloudy days, it decreases by 0.71% [ 12 ]. Throughout the entire growth period, light conversion film can also accelerate the growth rate of crops, increase their yield and quality, and reduce the incidence of pests and diseases. Light conversion film can significantly increase the photosynthetic rate of Chinese cabbage and significantly increase its dry leaf weight and leaf area by 33.0% and 33.3%, respectively [ 13 ]. Additionally, light-transferring film has been shown increase the yield of tomatoes by 32.90%, the average yield per unit area of Bebe pumpkins by 5.90%, and the yield of pre-Mingming tea by 51.20–56.20%. The contents of β-carotene, soluble protein, Vc, soluble sugar, aldehydes, furans and ketones can increase, which can advance the spring tea harvest period by 6–27 days and inhibit the reproduction of false-eyed little green leafhoppers ( Empoasca vitis ) and tea aphids ( Toxoptera aurantii ) [ 14 , 15 ]. Rare earth ions have rich spectral energy levels; rare earth luminescence almost covers the entire range of solid-state luminescence. Research on the preparation of agricultural light conversion films doped with rare earth elements has gradually attracted the attention of researchers [ 16 ]. Research has shown that adding a new europium-containing complex as a transfer agent to light-transmitting film can cause the accumulated temperature inside the greenhouse to reach 2072.50°C, and the average daily temperature increased by 3.62% [ 17 ]. A semitransparent film with Eu(III) added as could increase the size of tomato plants by 30–40%, increase the tolerance of tomatoes to high and low temperatures, inhibit the growth of the tomato pathogen Mycobacterium difficile, and promote the growth of tomatoes throughout their lifetime [ 18 ]. Previous studies have also shown that adding elements such as europium and yttrium to light conversion films can increase the yield of cucumbers by 30.01%. Compared with those of the control (traditional membrane), the growth indicators of the plants, the net photosynthetic rate and fruit quality improved to varying degrees [ 19 , 20 ]. Strawberry ( Fragaria×ananassa Duch.) is the world's main cash crop; in addition to its cultivation area and output, it is firmly at the forefront of the world, and its related industrial chain drives the economic development of countries. However, few studies have investigated the influence of rare earth light-transmitting films on strawberries. In recent years, global environmental changes and the frequent occurrence of weak light due to weather conditions such as smog have had a nonnegligible impact on the yield and quality of strawberries. Light conversion film, as one of the means to increase yield and improve the quality of facility crops, is currently more widely used in leafy vegetable crops but less widely studied in strawberry. Therefore, based on results from traditional PO film, in this study, a traditional PO film was used as the control, and rare earth phototransfer films with different amounts of europium and yttrium were used for the treatments. Through the analysis of strawberry leaves and samples at the fruit stage, the effects of rare earth light transfer films on the photosynthesis, yield and fruit quality of facility strawberry plants were investigated in detail, and the effects of the two types of light transfer films were comprehensively evaluated. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1 Experimental design and plant materials The 'Hongyan' variety of strawberry was used as the experimental material in this study. This is the main cultivated variety in the local area. This material is provided by Hebei Zengxian Agricultural Planting. It was cultivated in three solar greenhouses managed by Hebei Zengxian Agricultural Planting Co., Ltd. (Zheng Village, Zhengcun County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, China, 39°0’41’ N, 115°30’13’ E) from September 2023 to May 2024. Each of these greenhouses was 70 m in length, 10.6 m in width, 4.6 m in mid-ridge height, and 10 m in inner span, with a 0.37 m brick wall. The greenhouse, which runs east‒west, is insulated with a quilt made of three layers of flower felt and one layer of pearl cotton covering the black felt. The row spacing for strawberry plants is 90 cm, with a spacing of 10 cm within each row. Each greenhouse was planted with 9,000–10,000 strawberry plants. The strawberry plants were grown in soil beds 0.5 m below ground level, covered with black plastic film and drip-irrigated beneath the film. Each greenhouse contained 72 rows covering 770 m². Within each greenhouse, a sample plot consisting of 11 adjacent rows was randomly selected, with the area of each plot being approximately 90 m 2 . For comparison, three types of covering materials were tested. The first greenhouse was covered with a layer of standard polyolefin film (PO, thickness of 0.1 mm) from Hebei Kangcheng Modern Agricultural Products Development Co., Ltd., as the control (CK). The second greenhouse was covered with a rare earth light-transmitting film (RPO, thickness of 0.1 mm) specifically designed for strawberries from Shandong Shunming Company as a treatment (RPO1). The third greenhouse was covered with a special rare earth light conversion film (RPO, thickness of 0.1 mm) for strawberries from Shandong Xintianhe Company Co., Ltd., as another treatment (RPO2). Each plot included three quarters as repeats. Planting occurred on September 25, 2023, flowering began on October 23, 2023, harvesting began on January 20, 2024, and the crop cycle ended on May 6, 2024. 2.2 Determination of the inner environment of the greenhouses From September 2023 to May 2024, we conducted continuous monitoring of the spectrum, light intensity and air temperature within the greenhouse. The spectral ratios and light transmittance were calculated every 30 days starting from October 28, 2023. Each month between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m., spectral measurements were conducted every half hour using a QE65000 spectrometer (Ocean Optics, Shanghai, China) positioned at a height of 1.5 m from the ground and 5 m away from the film of the greenhouse, and the average of the five measurements was computed as a replicate value. Light intensity was measured using a #3415F Quantum light meter illuminometer (Spectrum Technologies, Inc., United States) mounted in the centre of the greenhouse at 1.5 m above the ground, in conjunction with spectral measurements. Air temperature and air humidity readings of CK, RPO1 and RPO2 samples were taken with i500 temperature sensors (Hangzhou Drucker Co., Ltd., China), which were placed in the middle of the greenhouse at a distance of 1.5 m from the floor. 2.3 Measurement of strawberry leaf growth traits at the flowering stage The third functional leaf was selected from the crown of the strawberry plant. The leaf area and chlorophyll content of the plants were measured. Each functional leaf consists of three leaflets (left, middle, and right). Eight leaves were selected as replicates for each plot. The leaf area of the functional leaves was measured with a leaf area meter (AM-200), and the parietal leaf photosynthetic parameters, including the photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, intercellular carbon dioxide concentration and stomatal conductance, were measured with a YZQ-100A portable dynamic photosynthesis system (Ji Zhuqi Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.), with the optical quantum flux density (PFD) set at 500 µmol·m − 2 ·s − 1 . The fluorescence parameters, including PSII primary light conversion efficiency (Fv/Fm), unit reaction centre absorption (ABS/RC), unit of light energy captured by the reaction centre (TRo/RC) and the energy transferred by an electron (ETo/RC) in the same leaf, were measured using a Handy PEA Plant efficiency analyser (Hansatech, UK). The photosynthetic pigment content was determined using the mixed sample described above, and the pigment was extracted using the 80% acetone method. The absorption value was subsequently determined with an ultraviolet spectrophotometer (U-5100 UV/VIS) at wavelengths of 470, 645 and 663 nm, and the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids were subsequently calculated. 2.4 Strawberry leaf and petiole sampling and processing for microscopy Permanent sections of the samples were prepared, and the size and number of cells were recorded through photographs and observations under an OLYMPUS BX51M compound microscope (BX51M Olympus Optical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) [ 21 ]. 2.5 Measurement of strawberry fruit yield and quality Commercial strawberry fruits were collected during the mature period (January 20, 2024). At this stage, 20 fruits were selected from each plot as samples; this process was repeated three times. The weight of commercial strawberry fruits was measured with an electronic balance with an accuracy of 0.01 g, and the fruit length, width and fruit shape index were scanned with an i800plus ScanMaker (MICROTEK, MRS-9600TFU2L, Shanghai Zhongjing Technology Co., Ltd.). The quality of commercial strawberry fruits was assessed during the mature period (December 14, 2023). At this stage, 20 fruits were selected from each plot, mixed finely, and then frozen quickly with liquid detergent to create a mixed sample; this process was repeated five times. The soluble solid content was measured using an ATAGO handheld digital sugar meter (ATAGO, Japan). Chemical experimental methods were employed to determine the contents of other substances. The Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 staining method was used to measure the fixed soluble protein content [ 22 ]. The content of vitamin C was determined using the 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol titration method, whereas the titratable acid content was measured using the sodium hydroxide titration method [ 23 ]. Free amino acid levels were measured through ninhydrin colorimetry [ 24 ], and the soluble sugar content was determined using the anthrone colorimetric method [ 25 ]. Additionally, the number of fruits per plant and the overall plot yield were recorded throughout the harvesting period. Single fruit weights were also measured during the mature period. 2.6 Fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT‒PCR) NCBI was used to design qRT‒PCR-specific primers for candidate genes (Table 1 ), which were synthesized by Beijing Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Strawberry leaf RNA (a plant RNA extraction kit) was extracted and reverse-transcribed (Kangwei reverse transcription kit) to obtain cDNA, and then, qRT‒PCR was performed with a Kangwei MagicSYBR mixture kit and a StepTwo real‒time fluorescence quantitative PCR system (Roche, CA, USA). The PCR amplification procedure was as follows: the amplification program included 1 cycle of 95°C for 30 s, followed by 40 cycles of 95°C for 5 s and 60°C for 30 s. The 20 µL reaction system was as follows: 2× MagicSYBR mixture, 10 µL; upstream and downstream primers, 4 µL; cDNA, 2 µL; and sterilized ddH 2 Oto 20 µL. Three biological replicates and three technical replicates were used for each gene. The final value of relative quantitation was compared with that of the control internal reference gene StRefActin 1 (LOC101300025) [ 26 ], and multiple changes in gene expression in the samples were tested. The relative expression levels of the candidate genes were analysed by the 2 −ΔΔCT method [ 27 ].

One-way ANOVA was performed using Duncan’s test in Statistical Product and Service Solutions, version 26.0 (IBM, New York, United States), and the data are presented as the means ± SEs. The weight coefficients were determined using the structural equation model on the SPSSPro website, and then the structural equation model was drawn using Microsoft PowerPoint 2022. The spectral transmission (ST), luminousness (L), handle length ratio (HLR) and plot yield were determined using the following formulas: ST (%) = Wi/W0 × 100% L (%) = Ri/R0 × 100% Cx (mg·g − 1 ) = Ci × Ev ×Dr × W Plot yield (kg·ha − 1 ) = N × W × F × 125 where Wi and W0 are the light intensities of different wavelengths inside and outside the greenhouse, respectively; Ri and R0 are the light intensities parallel to the film inside and outside the greenhouse, respectively; Ci are the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids; Ev is the extraction volume; Dr denotes the dilution ratio; W is the sample fresh weight; N denotes the number of strawberry plants; W is the single-fruit weight; and F is the number of fruits per strawberry plant. The data were analysed using the fuzzy membership function. The positive correlation index was calculated using the Formula X(u)=(X-X min )/(X max -X min ), and the negative correlation index was calculated using the Formula X(u) = 1-(X-X min )/(X max -X min ). The average membership function values of the growth, leaf and fruit quality of all the plants were calculated to obtain their average membership function values. 3.

At the same magnification, the vascular bundles of strawberry petioles treated with RPO1 and RPO2 were both larger than those in the CK group (Fig. 2 ). Compared with those under the CK treatment, the cross-sectional lengths of the main vascular bundles of strawberry petioles under the RPO1 and RPO2 treatments increased by 10.85% and 29.56%, respectively, and the cross-sectional widths decreased by 9.11% and 9.60%, respectively. 3.2.3 Effects of RPO film on the photosynthetic parameters, fluorescence parameters and chlorophyll content of strawberry leaves in solar greenhouses The photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance and intercellular CO 2 concentration of strawberry leaves treated with RPO1 and RPO2 were significantly different from those of the control group (Table 6 ). Compared with those under the CK treatment, the photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance of the leaves under the RPO2 treatment increased by 54.44%, 20.27% and 157.67%, respectively; the photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance of the leaves under the RPO1 treatment increased by 15.66% and 49.55%, respectively. Compared with those under RPO1, the photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance of the leaves under RPO2 increased by 31.64%, 11.48% and 72.30%, respectively. The changing trend of the intercellular CO 2 concentration was opposite to those of the above four photosynthetic parameters. Compared with those of the control, the intercellular CO 2 concentrations of RPO1 and RPO2 decreased by 32.76% and 37.20%, respectively. Notably, the intercellular CO 2 concentration of RPO2 decreased by 3.34% compared with that of RPO1.

Compared with those in CK leaves, the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids in strawberry leaves treated with RPO2 significantly increased by 30.51%, 26.47% and 26.09%, respectively, whereas the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids in RPO1 were not significantly different from those in the control group (Table 6 ). 3.2.4 Effects of RPO film on the activity of the Rubisco enzyme and related genes in strawberry leaves in solar greenhouses The Rubisco activities in strawberry leaves treated with RPO2 and RPO1 were significantly greater than that in the control, increasing by 42.87% and 44.94%, respectively (Fig. 3 A). Compared with those in the control, the expression levels of rubisco accumulation factor 1 ( Rub-af1 ) in the plants treated with RPO1 and RPO2 were upregulated by 10.09% and 9.95%, respectively (Fig. 3 B). The expression levels of the large subunit of Rubisco that binds to subunit α of the protein ( RubLα ) were upregulated by 9.23% and 8.71%, respectively (Fig. 3 D). The expression levels of the large subunit of Rubisco that binds to subunit β of the protein ( RubLβ ) were upregulated by 10.45% and 9.46%, respectively (Fig. 3 E). The expression levels of chloroplast nucleosaccharide diphosphate carboxylase small chain ( Rib-cs ) were upregulated by 7.27% and 6.13%, respectively. Interestingly, the expression level of Rib-cs in RPO1 was upregulated by 1.08% compared with that in RPO2 (Fig. 3 F). There was no significant difference in the expression level of ribulose diphosphate carboxylase small chain 1 ( Rib-cs1 ) (Fig. 3 C). 3.3 Effects of rare earth light conversion film on the yield and quality of strawberry fruits The transverse and longitudinal stems, single fruit weight, and yield of strawberry fruits treated with RPO1 and RPO2 were significantly greater than those of the control (Table 7 ). Compared with those of the control, the longitudinal stems of the fruits treated with RPO1 and RPO2 increased by 5.44% and 6.01%, the transverse diameters of the fruits increased by 7.71% and 10.63%, the single fruit weights increased by 30.21% and 33.37%, and the yield increased by 13.25% and 23.83%, respectively.

The organic acid content of RPO2 was 6.28% lower than that of CK, whereas the organic acid content of RPO1 was not different from that of the control (Fig. 4 D). There was no significant difference in the total phenol content among RPO1, RPO2 and the control (Fig. 4 G). 3.4 Pearson correlation analysis In addition to Fv/Fm and Cb, the photosynthetic indicators of strawberry leaves are closely related to the average light intensity and accumulated temperature. Interestingly, the photosynthetic rate and intercellular CO 2 concentration were negatively correlated with the average light intensity and accumulated temperature (Fig. 5 ). The yield of strawberry plants was significantly positively correlated with the average light intensity, accumulated temperature, and number of hours at temperatures ≥ 10°C and ≥ 20°C (Fig. 6 ). The contents of soluble solids and soluble sugars were extremely significantly positively correlated with the average light intensity. The content of soluble protein was extremely significantly negatively correlated with the average light intensity and the number of hours with temperatures ≥ 20°C. The contents of Vc and flavonoids were significantly positively correlated with the accumulated temperature and the number of hours with temperatures ≥ 10°C and ≥ 20°C. Photosynthesis indicators are closely related to yield (Fig. 7 ). Interestingly, the total leaf area, photosynthetic rate and yield were extremely significantly positively correlated. Notably, in the greenhouse environment, which affects the quality and yield of strawberry fruits (Fig. 6 ) and plant photosynthesis (Fig. 5 ), the average light intensity, accumulated temperature, and number of hours with temperatures ≥ 20°C had the strongest correlations with the above indicators, whereas the correlation with the average temperature was relatively weak. 3.5 Fuzzy mathematics membership function analysis and structural equation model analysis To conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the growth and development of strawberry plants, the membership functions of plant growth, fruit quality and fruit yield in each treatment were obtained according to the fuzzy mathematics membership function method. The mean values of the membership functions of the total components were then obtained and ranked. A comprehensive analysis of the membership functions of strawberry growth and development revealed that the ranking was RPO2 > RPO1 > CK (Table 8 ). The effects of temperature and light intensity on photosynthesis, fruit quality and fruit yield were further clarified through SEM analysis. Light intensity directly affected photosynthetic indicators and fruit quality and thereby influences fruit yield (Fig. 8 ).

Discussion 4.1 RPO film improves the internal environmental conditions of greenhouses Temperature and light are indispensable environmental conditions for plant growth. Light conversion films can be used to increase the air temperature, CO 2 concentration, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and soil temperature [ 12 ]. The temperature, light intensity and spectral ratio of light-transmitting films can be adjusted to change the growth of plants. Li et al. (2024) [ 28 ] reported that the accumulated temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature and average temperature of treatments with rare earth photoconversion membranes were higher than those of treatments with traditional membranes. Compared with those of the control, the accumulated temperature and minimum temperature of RPO1 and the accumulated temperature, maximum temperature and minimum temperature of RPO2 all increased. The average temperature of RPO1 and the maximum temperature and average temperature of RPO2 were not different from those of the control (Table 2 ). The increase in the accumulated temperature of RPO1 and the accumulated temperature minimum temperature and the maximum temperature of RPO2 were greater than those reported in the study of Li et al. (2024) [ 28 ]. The increases in the minimum temperature, maximum temperature and average temperature of RPO1 and the average temperature of RPO2 were lower than those reported in the study of Li et al. (2024) [ 28 ]. This may be related to the different temperature measurement years and greenhouse structures. In addition, the temperature variation during RPO2 treatment may also be related to the differences in rare earth light conversion films. Rare earth light-transmitting films also have a certain improvement in light intensity (Table 3 ), which is consistent with a previous study [ 12 ]. The rare earth light conversion film reduced the transmittance ratios of ultraviolet light, violet light and green light and increased the transmittance ratios of blue light, red light and far-red light (Table 4 ). These differences might be related to the added light conversion agent and the dosage of the light conversion agent. 4.2 Influence of RPO films on photosynthesis Photosynthesis produces the materials and energy needed for the growth and development of plants. When crops are exposed to specific light conditions for a long period of time, the anatomical structure of the plant body and the characteristics of chloroplasts change, which indirectly affects photosynthesis [ 29 ]. The content of photosynthetic pigments can reflect the physiological photosynthetic capacity of plants and is an indicator of photosynthetic intensity. The combination of red light and blue light can increase the absorption of photosynthetic pigments [ 29 ]. The concentrations of photosynthetic pigments and chlorophyll biosynthesis precursors in nonspike Chinese cabbage were relatively high under red and blue light treatments [ 30 ]. Red and blue light are conducive to pigment accumulation. The contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids in the RPO group were greater than those in the control group (Table 6 ), which was consistent with the findings of previous studies. The supply and utilization of CO 2 , the supply and utilization of light, and the transport capacity of carbohydrates are the key factors of photosynthesis [ 31 ]. High concentrations of CO 2 can inhibit photosynthesis [ 32 ]. The vascular bundles transport soluble mineral nutrients and water as well as photocompounds. In this study, the intercellular CO 2 concentration under RPO treatment decreased, the photosynthetic rate increased, and the vascular bundle slightly changed (Table 6 , Fig. 2 ). This might be related to the RPO film changing the spectral ratio and increasing the light transmittance (Table 4 ). Rubisco is a key enzyme in photosynthetic carbon assimilation during the dark reaction process of photosynthesis [ 33 ]. It can catalyse carbon reduction in photosynthesis and carbon oxidation in photorespiration, promote the utilization of light energy, accelerate the Calvin cycle, and ultimately increase photosynthetic efficiency [ 34 ]. These findings indicate that the performance of photosynthesis largely depends on the Rubisco kinetics at low temperatures and the Rubisco activation state at high temperatures [ 35 ]. Many plants, including rice and Arabidopsis, contain two closely related subunit types of Rubisco-activating enzyme-encoding genes [ 36 , 37 ]. This study revealed that all four genes that activate the Rubisco enzyme were upregulated to varying degrees (Fig. 3 ), which might be related to the increase in greenhouse temperature caused by RPO (Table 2 ). 4.3 Influence of RPO on fruit quality and yield The light quality of plants affects their photosynthetic capacity, which determines crop yield [ 38 ]. Studies have shown that blue‒violet light promotes the growth of crop stems and leaves and red‒orange light promotes the growth and reproduction of crop fruits, whereas yellow‒green light and near‒violet light have no effect on crop growth. Rare earth light conversion films can convert yellow‒green light and near-ultraviolet light into red‒orange light and blue‒violet light through the combination and interaction of rare earth ions, promoting the growth and development of crops [ 39 – 42 ]. The accumulation of soluble sugars, as primary metabolites of plants, is affected by photosynthesis [ 43 ]. In this study, the photosynthetic rate of the RPO treatment was greater than that of the control (Table 6 ), which might be the reason for the increases in soluble sugars and soluble solids (Fig. 4 A and 4 B). Light stimulates the D-man/L-gal biosynthesis pathway in plants, causing the amount of Vc in plant tissues to increase with increasing irradiance [ 44 ]. Flavonoids are important secondary metabolites in plants that are regulated by the environment. A light mass with a relatively high ratio of FR to NIR increased the activity of flavonoid methyltransferase but inhibited the activity of flavonoid glycosyltransferase. A high proportion of UV-A and a high R/FR ratio can increase the activity of flavonoid glycosyltransferases [ 45 ]. This might explain why the Vc (Fig. 4 E) and flavonoid (Fig. 4 F) contents after RPO treatment were greater than those of the control. RPO treatment increased the yield of cucumbers by 30% and the yield of sweet peppers by 20.34% [ 9 , 28 ]. Compared with ordinary film, light-transferring film can promote strawberry maturation 10 d earlier and increase the yield by 3180 kg·hm − 2 [ 17 ]. Compared with blank film cultivation, light conversion film cultivation increased the aboveground biomasses of different varieties of three vegetables, namely, mustard, Chinese cabbage and Chinese heart, by 20.53–23.40%, 20.13–32.62% and 16.43–20.30%, respectively [ 46 ]. Similarly, the yield of strawberry fruits increased in this experiment (Table 7 ), which might be related to RPO altering the greenhouse environment and enhancing photosynthesis. 5. Conclusions The results of this study revealed that the use of a rare earth semitransparent film increased the spectral ratios of red‒orange light, blue light and far-red light in the greenhouse; reduced the spectral ratios of ultraviolet light, ultraviolet light and green light; and improved the average light intensity, light transmittance and accumulated temperature of the greenhouse. Upregulating the gene expression levels of Rubisco and its different morphological subunits enhanced the activity of the Rubisco enzyme in leaves, increased the leaf area, altered the structure of strawberry petioles, and improved the photosynthetic efficiency and material transport efficiency of strawberry plants, thereby promoting their growth and development and increasing yield. Moreover, the rare earth light conversion film treated with RPO2 was more suitable for the growth of strawberries. Rare earth light conversion films can be used as a strategy to improve photosynthetic traits and increase crop yields.

Introduction","content":"\u003cp\u003ePhotosynthesis can affect the growth and yield of crops. Photosynthesis is the ultimate energy source of plants and consists of two key stages: the light and dark reactions [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e]. The light reaction mainly occurs during the photosynthesis of chloroplasts in green plants, where light energy is absorbed and converted to generate NADPH and ATP [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e]. Subsequently, the dark reaction utilizes the generated energy to fix CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e and convert it into six types of carbon sugars in the carbon assimilation process [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. Photosynthetic carbon assimilation can store energy in the biological world and generate most of the biomass in the biosphere. Rubisco (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate ribulose carboxylase) is the most abundant protein on Earth and is responsible for the vast majority of global carbon fixation [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e], and it is highly sensitive to temperature. With the assistance of different assembly factors, Rubisco can be composed of 8 large subunits (RbcL) and 8 small subunits (RbcS) to form a hexadecamer [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e]. These assembly factors, large subunits and small subunits affect the activity of Rubisco, thereby influencing photosynthesis.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLight is the source of energy for photosynthesis, germination, flowering and fruiting in plants [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e]. Notably, plants exhibit a high absorption efficiency of 90% for blue and red light wavelengths [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e]. Research has demonstrated that light conversion films can modulate spectral transmittance by transforming short wavelengths, such as ultraviolet and violet light, into longer wavelengths, such as red‒orange, blue, and far-red light. This spectral optimization enhances light conditions for improved growth and yield in facility-grown crops [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]. Therefore, functional agricultural light transfer films are gradually replacing traditional EVA polyethylene, PVC polyvinyl chloride agricultural films and coated films to improve problems such as low winter and spring yields of facility vegetables, long crop growth cycles and unstable fruit quality.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe energy difference in the process of spectral conversion is released in the form of heat energy. Combined with the good thermal insulation performance of the light conversion film, the temperature of the shed covered by the light conversion film is improved [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e]. In autumn cultivation, the increase in air temperature is as high as 0.50\u0026deg;C. The temperature regulation function of the light conversion film reduces the stress caused by higher and lower temperatures to a certain extent. The effects of the light transfer film on the temperature and humidity of the shed differ between sunny days and weak light days (such as cloudy and haze). On sunny days, the average temperature in the light conversion film shed increases by 0.20\u0026ndash;6.80\u0026deg;C; on low-light days, it increases by 0.20\u0026ndash;1.90\u0026deg;C; under sunny or hazy conditions, the air humidity in the greenhouse with the light-transfer film is 1.73\u0026ndash;9.30% higher than that of the control; and on cloudy days, it decreases by 0.71% [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout the entire growth period, light conversion film can also accelerate the growth rate of crops, increase their yield and quality, and reduce the incidence of pests and diseases. Light conversion film can significantly increase the photosynthetic rate of Chinese cabbage and significantly increase its dry leaf weight and leaf area by 33.0% and 33.3%, respectively [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e]. Additionally, light-transferring film has been shown increase the yield of tomatoes by 32.90%, the average yield per unit area of Bebe pumpkins by 5.90%, and the yield of pre-Mingming tea by 51.20\u0026ndash;56.20%. The contents of β-carotene, soluble protein, Vc, soluble sugar, aldehydes, furans and ketones can increase, which can advance the spring tea harvest period by 6\u0026ndash;27 days and inhibit the reproduction of false-eyed little green leafhoppers (\u003cem\u003eEmpoasca vitis\u003c/em\u003e) and tea aphids (\u003cem\u003eToxoptera aurantii\u003c/em\u003e) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRare earth ions have rich spectral energy levels; rare earth luminescence almost covers the entire range of solid-state luminescence. Research on the preparation of agricultural light conversion films doped with rare earth elements has gradually attracted the attention of researchers [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e]. Research has shown that adding a new europium-containing complex as a transfer agent to light-transmitting film can cause the accumulated temperature inside the greenhouse to reach 2072.50\u0026deg;C, and the average daily temperature increased by 3.62% [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e].

Previous studies have also shown that adding elements such as europium and yttrium to light conversion films can increase the yield of cucumbers by 30.01%.

However, few studies have investigated the influence of rare earth light-transmitting films on strawberries. In recent years, global environmental changes and the frequent occurrence of weak light due to weather conditions such as smog have had a nonnegligible impact on the yield and quality of strawberries. Light conversion film, as one of the means to increase yield and improve the quality of facility crops, is currently more widely used in leafy vegetable crops but less widely studied in strawberry. Therefore, based on results from traditional PO film, in this study, a traditional PO film was used as the control, and rare earth phototransfer films with different amounts of europium and yttrium were used for the treatments. Through the analysis of strawberry leaves and samples at the fruit stage, the effects of rare earth light transfer films on the photosynthesis, yield and fruit quality of facility strawberry plants were investigated in detail, and the effects of the two types of light transfer films were comprehensively evaluated.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"2.

Each of these greenhouses was 70 m in length, 10.6 m in width, 4.6 m in mid-ridge height, and 10 m in inner span, with a 0.37 m brick wall. The greenhouse, which runs east‒west, is insulated with a quilt made of three layers of flower felt and one layer of pearl cotton covering the black felt. The row spacing for strawberry plants is 90 cm, with a spacing of 10 cm within each row. Each greenhouse was planted with 9,000\u0026ndash;10,000 strawberry plants. The strawberry plants were grown in soil beds 0.5 m below ground level, covered with black plastic film and drip-irrigated beneath the film.

semitransparent films can reduce the proportions of ultraviolet, purple and green light; increase the proportions of far-red, red‒orange and blue light; and increase the light transmittance of greenhouse films (Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e). On sunny days, compared with those in the CK treatment, ultraviolet light, violet light and green light in the RPO2 treatment decreased by 7.65%, 6.11% and 8.12%, whereas blue light, red‒orange light and far-red light increased by 6.35%, 11.59% and 22.10%, respectively; in the RPO1 treatment, ultraviolet light, violet light and green light decreased by 3.89%, 5.67% and 8.98%, respectively, whereas blue light, red‒orange light and far-red light increased by 7.00%, 9.75% and 19.98%, respectively.

(2024) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e]. The increases in the minimum temperature, maximum temperature and average temperature of RPO1 and the average temperature of RPO2 were lower than those reported in the study of Li et al. (2024) [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e]. This may be related to the different temperature measurement years and greenhouse structures. In addition, the temperature variation during RPO2 treatment may also be related to the differences in rare earth light conversion films. Rare earth light-transmitting films also have a certain improvement in light intensity (Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab3\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e), which is consistent with a previous study [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e]. The rare earth light conversion film reduced the transmittance ratios of ultraviolet light, violet light and green light and increased the transmittance ratios of blue light, red light and far-red light (Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e). These differences might be related to the added light conversion agent and the dosage of the light conversion agent.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec21\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003e4.2 Influence of RPO films on photosynthesis\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhotosynthesis produces the materials and energy needed for the growth and development of plants. When crops are exposed to specific light conditions for a long period of time, the anatomical structure of the plant body and the characteristics of chloroplasts change, which indirectly affects photosynthesis [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e]. The content of photosynthetic pigments can reflect the physiological photosynthetic capacity of plants and is an indicator of photosynthetic intensity. The combination of red light and blue light can increase the absorption of photosynthetic pigments [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e]. The concentrations of photosynthetic pigments and chlorophyll biosynthesis precursors in nonspike Chinese cabbage were relatively high under red and blue light treatments [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e]. Red and blue light are conducive to pigment accumulation. The contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids in the RPO group were greater than those in the control group (Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab6\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e), which was consistent with the findings of previous studies. The supply and utilization of CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e, the supply and utilization of light, and the transport capacity of carbohydrates are the key factors of photosynthesis [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR31\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e31\u003c/span\u003e]. High concentrations of CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e can inhibit photosynthesis [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e32\u003c/span\u003e]. The vascular bundles transport soluble mineral nutrients and water as well as photocompounds. In this study, the intercellular CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e concentration under RPO treatment decreased, the photosynthetic rate increased, and the vascular bundle slightly changed (Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab6\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e, Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig2\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e). This might be related to the RPO film changing the spectral ratio and increasing the light transmittance (Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRubisco is a key enzyme in photosynthetic carbon assimilation during the dark reaction process of photosynthesis [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR33\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e33\u003c/span\u003e]. It can catalyse carbon reduction in photosynthesis and carbon oxidation in photorespiration, promote the utilization of light energy, accelerate the Calvin cycle, and ultimately increase photosynthetic efficiency [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR34\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e34\u003c/span\u003e]. These findings indicate that the performance of photosynthesis largely depends on the Rubisco kinetics at low temperatures and the Rubisco activation state at high temperatures [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e]. Many plants, including rice and Arabidopsis, contain two closely related subunit types of Rubisco-activating enzyme-encoding genes [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e36\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR37\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e37\u003c/span\u003e]. This study revealed that all four genes that activate the Rubisco enzyme were upregulated to varying degrees (Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig3\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e), which might be related to the increase in greenhouse temperature caused by RPO (Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab2\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec22\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003e4.3 Influence of RPO on fruit quality and yield\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe light quality of plants affects their photosynthetic capacity, which determines crop yield [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR38\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e38\u003c/span\u003e]. Studies have shown that blue‒violet light promotes the growth of crop stems and leaves and red‒orange light promotes the growth and reproduction of crop fruits, whereas yellow‒green light and near‒violet light have no effect on crop growth. Rare earth light conversion films can convert yellow‒green light and near-ultraviolet light into red‒orange light and blue‒violet light through the combination and interaction of rare earth ions, promoting the growth and development of crops [\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR40 CR41\" citationid=\"CR39\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e39\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR42\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e42\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe accumulation of soluble sugars, as primary metabolites of plants, is affected by photosynthesis [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR43\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e43\u003c/span\u003e]. In this study, the photosynthetic rate of the RPO treatment was greater than that of the control (Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab6\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e), which might be the reason for the increases in soluble sugars and soluble solids (Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003eA and \u003cspan refid=\"Fig4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003eB). Light stimulates the D-man/L-gal biosynthesis pathway in plants, causing the amount of Vc in plant tissues to increase with increasing irradiance [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR44\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e44\u003c/span\u003e]. Flavonoids are important secondary metabolites in plants that are regulated by the environment. A light mass with a relatively high ratio of FR to NIR increased the activity of flavonoid methyltransferase but inhibited the activity of flavonoid glycosyltransferase. A high proportion of UV-A and a high R/FR ratio can increase the activity of flavonoid glycosyltransferases [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR45\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e45\u003c/span\u003e]. This might explain why the Vc (Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003eE) and flavonoid (Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003eF) contents after RPO treatment were greater than those of the control. RPO treatment increased the yield of cucumbers by 30% and the yield of sweet peppers by 20.34% [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e].

Similarly, the yield of strawberry fruits increased in this experiment (Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab7\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e), which might be related to RPO altering the greenhouse environment and enhancing photosynthesis.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"5.

Upregulating the gene expression levels of Rubisco and its different morphological subunits enhanced the activity of the Rubisco enzyme in leaves, increased the leaf area, altered the structure of strawberry petioles, and improved the photosynthetic efficiency and material transport efficiency of strawberry plants, thereby promoting their growth and development and increasing yield. Moreover, the rare earth light conversion film treated with RPO2 was more suitable for the growth of strawberries.

Light conversion film can provide the red‒orange light and blue‒violet light necessary for plant photosynthesis, promoting the growth and development of crops and nutrient absorption. Strawberry (\u003cem\u003eFragaria\u0026times;ananassa\u003c/em\u003e Duch.) is a major economic crop worldwide, and its related industrial chain drives the economic development of various countries. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of rare earth light conversion films (RPOs) on strawberry cultivation. The temperature, light intensity, light transmittance and proportion of spectra beneficial to the crop production of RPO greenhouses were all greater than those of the control. Compared with those of the control, spongy tissues were sparser in RPO1 and RPO2 leaves. The cross-sectional lengths of the main vascular bundles of strawberry petioles in RPO1 and RPO2 increased by 10.85% and 29.56%, respectively, and the cross-sectional widths decreased by 9.11% and 9.60%, respectively. Compared with those of the control, the total leaf area, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, activity of Rubisco and gene expression levels of \u003cem\u003eRub-af1\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRubLα\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRubLβ\u003c/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eRib-cs\u003c/em\u003e of RPO1 and RPO2 increased by 29.98%, 10.88%, 49.55%, 42.87%, 10.09%, 9.23%, 10.45%, and 7.27% and 31.51%, 23.61%, 157.67%, 44.94%, 9.95%, 8.71%, 9.46%, and 6.13%, respectively, and the intercellular CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c/sub\u003e concentration decreased by 32.76% and 37.20%, respectively. Compared with those of the control, the single fruit weight, yield, soluble solids, soluble sugar content, Vc content, and flavonoid contents of RPO1 and RPO2 increased by 30.21%, 13.25%, 32.58%, 24.04%, 8.32%, and 27.94% and 33.37%, 23.83%, 33.48%, 33.48%, and 54.87%, respectively. In conclusion, RPO promotes photosynthesis in strawberry plants by optimizing light intensity and temperature in greenhouses; adjusting the spectrum to change the total leaf area, pigment content, spongy tissue structure, petiole vascular bundles, and Rubisco activity; and regulating the expression of the Rubisco gene, thereby increasing the quality and yield of strawberry plants. Compared with RPO1, RPO2 could be a more suitable film for strawberry production.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Rare earth transfer films enhance the photosynthetic efficiency of strawberry plants, thereby improving fruit quality and yield","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-06-26 18:59:53","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6877648/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Revision requested","date":"2025-08-14T09:23:59+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-08-14T07:30:33+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-08-12T03:17:43+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-07-31T00:49:18+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"50049637591262378328264208609445569439","date":"2025-07-28T08:22:37+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"147523225870765143801249771586137212642","date":"2025-07-27T23:14:38+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"11494421928656590823824546224624374402","date":"2025-07-24T09:56:24+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"332679471237439197614292136680481220354","date":"2025-07-03T14:36:08+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"271300691139973192989624021952556904019","date":"2025-06-26T07:35:31+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2025-06-24T05:50:50+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2025-06-23T05:18:23+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2025-06-21T09:09:29+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"BMC Plant Biology","date":"2025-06-21T09:05:56+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
