Accumulation of glucosinolates in developing mustard (Brassica juncea L.) seeds in response to sulphur application

Effects of seed priming, salinity and methyl jasmonate treatment on bioactive composition of Brassica oleracea var. capitata (white and red varieties) sprouts

“…Analysis of the cabbage sprouts grown under control conditions indicated a varietal difference, the white cabbage having higher mineral levels – mainly Ca, K and P – than the red one. Additionally, it was observed that the lower S content in the white variety than the red one was consistent with its lower GLS content, revealing the involvement of S in GLS biosynthesis . Salinity affected negatively the mineral content in the sprouts, especially in the white variety.…”

“…Additionally, it was observed that the lower S content in the white variety than the red one was consistent with its lower GLS content, revealing the involvement of S in GLS biosynthesis. 34 Salinity affected negatively the mineral content in the sprouts, especially in the white variety. The NaCl induced a reduced S content, as shown previously in adult broccoli plants.…”

Phytochemicals of Brassicaceae in plant protection and human health – Influences of climate, environment and agronomic practice

“…An increased sulfur supply has been shown to result in higher levels of total glucosinolates (Li et al, 2007) and of individual glucosinolates such as glucoraphanin and glucoraphasatin (Krumbein et al, 2001), sinigrin, glucobrassicanapin, gluconapin and progoitrin (Kaur et al, 1990). Interestingly Li et al (2007) showed that an increasing nitrogen supply (80, 160, 320 kg ha À1 ) at a high sulfur fertilization level (60 kg ha À1 ) did not impact significantly on the total glucosinolate concentration, but did result in an increase in nitrogen-containing tryptophan-derived indole glucosinolates.…”

The Physiological Importance of Glucosinolates on Plant Response to Abiotic Stress in Brassica

“…An increased S supply has been shown to result in higher levels of total glucosinolates in Brassica rapa [95] and of individual glucosinolates, such as glucoraphanin and glucoraphasatin [96], sinigrin, glucobrassicanapin, gluconapin and progoitrin in Brassica juncea L. [97]. Interestingly, other works showed no significant differences in total glucosinolates, aliphatic or indolic glucosinolates in different cultivars and breeding lines between poor (15 kg/ha) and very high (150 kg/ha) S fertilization when the rest of conditions were optimal [98].…”
