TLDR
When sprouts were irradiated with UV-B light at wavelengths of 260-300 nm, yellowing or withering occurred within 24h of irradiation, indicating that wavelengths in this range are detrimental to the growth of buckwheat sprouts.About:

Are betalain pigments the functional homologues of anthocyanins in plants
Gagandeep Jain,Kevin S. Gould +1 more
TL;DR: Betalains, a small group of alkaloid pigments restricted to certain families of the Caryophyllales, have comparable optical properties and share similar histological locations in vegetative tissues with those of the more abundant anthocyanins, suggesting that they may confer adaptive benefits not found in those species that produce anthOCyanins.

Effects of light sources on major flavonoids and antioxidant activity in common buckwheat sprouts.
TL;DR: Blue light could be applied for enhancing not only the content of flavonoids but also antioxidant activity in common buckwheat sprouts, and it was found that isoorientin is the highest antioxidant flavonoid whereas numerous former studies suggested that rutin is a typical antioxidant compound in common Buckwheat.
