چکیده

Photoinhibition of hypocotyl growth in white cabbage (Brassica oleracea L., cv "Bianco Brunswick") is controlled by UV absorbing receptor(s) and the phytochrome system, while in red cabbage (cv "Rosso Olandese tardivo invernale") phytochrome can act without any requirement for the action of a specific UV receptor. Similar results have been obtained for the photoregulation of anthocyanin production. Twenty-four hour preirradiations with UV light or 692 nanometers light lead to the same increase in responsiveness of the system toward Pfr in a following dark period, suggesting a phytochrome promotion of subsequent light induction for both.

Controlling Ornamental Cabbage and Kale (Brassica oleracea) Growth via Cycocel

Chlormequat (cycocel or CCC), the plant growth retardant, was evaluated for its ability to control plant height in Brassica oleracea cultivar ‘Kamome White’ and ‘Nagoya Red’. Different concentrations of CCC (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/L) were sprayed and drenched on plants 40 days after transplanting. Data were recorded the 60 and 90 days after transplanting. The 1500 mg/L of CCC resulted in abou...

Ethylene, light, and anthocyanin synthesis.

Ethylene control of anthocyanin formation functions only through light-initiated synthesis pathways of the rapid synthesis phase. Treatment with ethylene in the dark had no effect on dark anthocyanin synthesis in red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.). Pretreatment of both red cabbage and sorghum (Sorghum vulgare L.) with ethylene for 24 hours in the dark did increase the rate of synthesis when the...

Early induction of phenolic compounds in aluminum-treated roots of Brassica oleracea L. Roya Saghian1 and Faezeh Ghanati2*

There are evidences showing that adverse impacts of aluminum (Al) on plants growth and development are associated with its effect on plasma membrane and cell wall. Influence of Al on peroxidation of membrane lipids, wall-bound phenolics, lignin, soluble phenolics and the activity of certain enzymes involved in metabolism of phenols, i.e., phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and polyphenol oxidase...

Isothiocyanates, Nitriles, and Epithionitriles from Glucosinolates Are Affected by Genotype and Developmental Stage in Brassica oleracea Varieties

Vegetables of the Brassica oleracea group, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, play an important role for glucosinolate consumption in the human diet. Upon maceration of the vegetable tissue, glucosinolates are degraded enzymatically to form volatile isothiocyanates, nitriles, and epithionitriles. However, only the uptake of isothiocyanates is linked to the cancer-preventive effects. Th...

Interaction between Light Quality and Light Quantity in the Photoregulation of Anthocyanin Production.

The interaction between phytochrome photoequilibrium (phi) and photon flux in the photoregulation of anthocyanin production under prolonged irradiation was studied in seedlings of Brassica oleracea L. and Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. In cabbage, anthocyanin production increases with decreasing phi, reaching a maximum at the lowest value (phi = 0.13) used in this study; in tomato, the extent of...
