Abstract

Vegetable consumption has increased in recent decades. In search of products that improve the performance and quality of food, the use of agrochemicals was born, most of which damage the soil and the environment. Therefore, alternatives to its use are proposed, such as elicitors, which trigger physiological and morphological responses as defense. Electrolyzed water (EA) has been studied as an elicitor in the germination of some seeds, applying it in concentrations of 10 to 250 mg/L. Evaluated metabolic variables such as flavonoids and bioactive compounds. Light intermittence has been studied, since its application has shown to have an eliciting effect in some crops, promoting the synthesis of photosynthetic pigments and phenolic compounds. The objective of this review was to conduct an investigation on the application of AE and light intermittence as elicitors. International search engines were used with an inclusion criterion from 2014 to 2024, a total of 680 articles were found. The EO reports presented variations in pH and exposure time, however, the results were similar, reporting that its use does promote germination, production of secondary metabolites and enzymatic activity. The reports on the use of light intermittency showed variations in the application mode and the level of radiation, however, they reported an increase in germination and an increase in the production of phenolic compounds. However, their joint application has not yet been reported; more reports are required to evaluate their synergistic effect.
