“…In the study conducted by Riad et al (2009) planting density had no significant effect on the content of phenolic compounds in cabbage. The same results were obtained by Reilly et al (2014) in broccoli.…”

“…Many researchers have shown that environmental factors and agronomic conditions may influence the content of phytochemicals in cruciferous vegetables (Vallejo et al 2003;Gliszczyńska-Świgło et al 2007;Schmidt et al 2010;Björkman et al 2011;Fallovo et al 2011;Pék et al 2013;Reilly et al 2014). Our results showed that plant density and irrigation had a significant effect on both phenolic acid and flavonol content in cauliflower curds.…”

“…The content of phytochemicals in Brassicaceae vegetables may be influenced by genetics as well as environmental factors (Vallejo et al 2003;Gliszczyńska-Świgło et al 2007;Schmidt et al 2010;Björkman et al 2011;Fallovo et al 2011;Pék et al 2013;Reilly et al 2014). Agronomic practices can also significantly affect the levels of these compounds (Vallejo et al 2003;Robbins et al 2005;Björkman et al 2011;Fallovo et al 2011;Pék et al 2013;Reilly et al 2014).…”

Several studies have demonstrated that the levels of active compounds in Brassicaceae can be increased by the use of appropriate crop management strategies (Schreiner 2005;Krumbein et al 2010).…”

Kałużewicz A., Lisiecka J., Gąsecka M., Krzesiński W., Spiżewski T., Zaworska A., Frąszczak B. This study was conducted to study the influence of plant density and irrigation on the content of phenolic compounds, i.e., phenolic acids and flavonols in cv. 'Sevilla' cauliflower curds. Levels of phenolic acids and flavonols were in the range of 3.0-6.2 mg and 25.4-87.8 mg/100 g of dry weight, respectively, depending on plant density and irrigation. Of the phenolic acids, caffeic acid was detected in the highest amount, followed by p-coumaric acid, sinapic acid, gallic acid, and ferulic acid. Of the two flavonols detected, the levels of quercetin were higher than those of kaempferol. The content of the detected phenolic acids (with the exception of ferulic acid) and both flavonols increased with increasing plant density. Furthermore, the concentration of phenolic compounds (with the exception of ferulic acid) was significantly higher under irrigation.

“…Prior and Cao (2000) indicated that factors such as maturity, cultivars but also other environmental factors like sunlight exposure may influence the phytochemical concentration. This is further supported by another study by Reilly et al (2013) who concluded that levels of total phenolics, flavonoids and glucosinolates are higher in purple sprouting than green broccoli types.…”

28Effect on yield, total phenolic, total flavonoid and total isothiocyanate content of two broccoli cultivars (Brassica oleraceae var italica) following the application of a commercial brown seaweed extract (Ascophyllum nodosum)Theodora Lola-Luz Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of an unfortified extract, of Ascophyllum nodosum on yield and nutritional quality of two broccoli cultivars ('Ironman' and 'Red Admiral'). Total phenolic, total flavonoid, and total isothiocyanates content were higher in all seaweed treatments compared to the untreated control. In 'Ironman' there was a 2.2 fold increase in total phenolic, 1.5 fold in total flavonoid and 2.6 fold in total isothiocyanates content, in the higher application rate compared to the control. Similarly in 'Red Admiral', there was a 2.3 fold increase in total phenolic, 2.6 fold in total flavonoid and, 2.2 fold in total isothiocyanates content. There was a consistent effect on the increase of total phenolic, total flavonoid and total isothiocyanates content, while there was no yield increase recorded at the lower seaweed application rate. Results suggest that application of seaweed extracts can significantly increase the amount of phytochemicals and improve the nutritional quality of broccoli.
