Abstract
ABSTRACT Crispleaf lettuce, which is a light green leaf lettuce, is the most popular leafy vegetable in Brazil. However, it is relevant to evaluate agronomic traits of lettuce with more intense green color leaves considering the increase in consumer demand. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate lettuce genotypes about the different chlorophyll contents and correlate with green mass production in a hydroponic system. Ten lettuce inbred lines and two cultivars (Vanda and Luiza) were evaluated for agronomic traits and chlorophyll contents in leaves. A randomized block design with four replicates was used. The chlorophyll content was variable among the genotypes, ranging from 43.3 (Luiza) to 20.8 (Vanda). The genotypes with the highest chlorophyll content were those who showed the lowest mass production, but no correlations were found between these variables, though.
