In order to preserve fresh lettuce, the dim light irradiation storage was investigated. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L..) stored for about 120 hours at 5 or 20℃ under continuous illumination at 0 (darkness), 1.6, 3.4, 6.5, 13 or 19.7μmol・m-2・s -1 photosynthetic photon flux. The light compensation point was about 3.4μmol?m-2・s-1 at 5℃, about 19.7μmol?m -2・s -1 at 20℃. Fresh weight of lettuce decreased by promotion of transpiration caused by the dim light. Accordingly the root of lettuce should not be removed, so as to uptake water. The optimum dim light irradiation preserved the chlorophyll content in lettuce leaf or increased it. Therefore it appeared that the dim light irradiation was effective for the fresh lettuce preservation.
