Here, we demonstrated that compared to control groups, hydrogen-enriched water (HEW) irrigation significantly improved agronomic performance, increasing kernel number (~10.55%) and ear length (~5.73%) while notably reducing barren tip length by about 60.73%. Regarding nutritional quality, HEW-treated kernels exhibited remarkable increases in soluble protein (~61.53%), total soluble sugars (~31.10%), vitamin C (~28.31%), total phenolics (~21.06%), and flavonoids (~40.56%). Micronutrients were also enhanced, such as zinc (~96.82%), iron (~51.70%), and manganese levels (~40.37%). HEW effectively modulated the expression of sugar metabolism-related genes. Specifically, the coordinated upregulation of key genes, such as ZmSUS1 (~3.8 fold), ZmINCW2 (~1.9 fold), and ZmHXK1 (~1.6 fold), might contribute to the enhanced accumulation of sucrose (~11.79%), glucose (~6.21%), and fructose (~26.50%). Starch biosynthesis was also promoted. The improved sugar\u2013acid ratio indicated enhanced taste quality. Importantly, representative key antioxidant genes (ZmSOD2\/4, ZmPOD1\/2, and ZmCAT1\/3) as well as corresponding enzymatic activities in kernels were stimulated, which was negatively associated with lipid peroxidation. Overall, these results indicate that HEW irrigation is a promising, eco-friendly strategy that can be efficiently used to improve sweet corn yield and nutritional value.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15111847","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,25]],"date-time":"2026-05-25T00:30:33Z","timestamp":1779669033000},"page":"1847","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Impact of Hydrogen-Enriched Solution Irrigation on Grain Yield and Nutritional Quality of Sweet Corn"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Hao","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Life Sciences, Laboratory Center of Life Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuhao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Life Sciences, Laboratory Center of Life Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ronghui","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Life Sciences, Laboratory Center of Life Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1495-6533","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pengfei","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Life Sciences, Laboratory Center of Life Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3497-3778","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yan","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Air Liquide (China) R&D Co., Ltd., Shanghai 201108, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8294-2998","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xu","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Air Liquide (China) R&D Co., Ltd., Shanghai 201108, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1525-9472","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenbiao","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Life Sciences, Laboratory Center of Life Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"787","article-title":"Bioactive amines in fresh, canned and dried sweet corn, embryo and endosperm and germinated corn","volume":"129","author":"Bandeira","year":"2011","journal-title":"Food Chem."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1016\/S0308-8146(01)00156-X","article-title":"Extrusion behaviour of grits from flint and sweet corn","volume":"74","author":"Gujral","year":"2001","journal-title":"Food Chem."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hajer, S., Attila, V., and Janos, N.
