A Correction on: Yu D, Li Z, Hu J, Wang F, Lu W, Yuan Q, Wang S, Zhou C and Yang Q (2025) Effect of end-of-production light treatment under different light/dark alternating frequencies on ascorbic acid accumulation and metabolism of hydroponic lettuce. Front. Plant Sci. 16:1681893. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2025.1681893 There was a mistake in the citations for Figures 2-7 as published. The order of the figures was updated; however the citations were not updated and some citations were not put into parentheses. "EOP light/dark alternation differentially regulated GLDH in lettuce leaves Figure 2" has been updated to "EOP light/dark alternation differentially regulated GLDH in lettuce leaves (Figure 2)". "In contrast, APX enzyme activity was significantly higher in RB2 than in RB4 and RB8 but was comparable to that in RB1 (Figure 2A)" has been updated to "In contrast, APX enzyme activity was significantly higher in RB2 than in RB4 and RB8 but was comparable to that in RB1 (Figure 3A)".

"In this study, the RB2 treatment produced the highest AsA induction (increased by 11.8%, 28.5%, and 41.6% compared to RB1, RB4, and RB8, respectively), achieved through synchronized increases in GLDH expression/activity (Figure 6) and coordinated upregulation of the APX/MDHAR/DHAR system(Figures 2A-C)" has been updated to "In this study, the RB2 treatment produced the highest AsA induction (increased by 11.8%, 28.5%, and 41.6% compared to RB1, RB4, and RB8, respectively), achieved through synchronized increases in GLDH expression/activity (Figure 2) and coordinated upregulation of the APX/MDHAR/DHAR system(Figures 3A-C)". "The subsequent light period then restores the activation of both biosynthetic and recycling pathways (Figure 6)" has been updated to "The subsequent light period then restores the activation of both biosynthetic and recycling pathways (Figure 2)". "exceeded lettuce's oxidative stress tolerance threshold and induced photooxidative stress (Figure 4)" has been updated to "exceeded lettuce's oxidative stress tolerance threshold and induced photooxidative stress (Figure 5)".
