Zinc Sulfate Stress Enhances Flavonoid Content and Antioxidant Capacity from Finger Millet Sprouts for High-Quality Production

The enhancement of flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity in plants remains a sig- nificant area of focus in the investigation of plant-derived functional foods. This study systematically investigated the impact of exogenous zinc sulfate (5 mM ZnSO4) stress on flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity in finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) sprouts, along with its underlying molecular mechanisms. The results demonstrated that treatment with 5 mM ZnSO4 significantly increased the flavonoid...
