Abstract: | Five main cultivars from China and 143 parent materials grown in a greenhouse were used to investigate the glucosinolates in broccoli florets. Eight aliphatic glucosinolates, four indole glucosinolates, and one aromatic glucosinolate were identified and quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that glucoraphanin, glucobrassicin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin and neoglucobrassicin were present in all samples. However, the predominant type of glucosinolate was different among pure lines. The anti-cancer glucoraphanin concentration ranged from 0.06 to 24.17 μmol/g in pure lines and from 1.57 to 5.95 μmol/g in commercial cultivars. The progoitrin concentration in commercial cultivars varied from 1.77 to 6.07 μmol/g with a mean value of 3.20 μmol/g. Significant variations were observed in the concentration of individual glucosinolates and in each class of glucosinolates among broccoli populations. Dozens of specific lines with altered glucosinolate profiles, as well as ten good candidates for breeding high-chemoprotective glucosinolate cultivars, were obtained according to the putative glucosinolate pathway in broccoli. |
