The structurally unique glucosinolate (GSL), 4-(cystein-S-yl)butyl GSL, was identified in the leaves of hydroponically-grown rocket salad (Eruca sativa Mill.). Its electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS)/MS spectrum indicated that this unusual GSL had a molecular weight of 414 as a desulfo (DS)-GSL, and a molecular formula of C(14)H(25)N(2)O(8)S(2) based on its negative ion matrix-as...

Eruca sa t i v a is a very important crop of Madeterranean region, and highly used as salad 3 in European countries . Sodium azide (NaN ) is a chemic a l mutagen, and widely used in crops to 3 improve their yield and quality traits . W e s tudied the effect of various concentrations of NaN ranged (1mM , 2mM , 3 mM, 4 mM and 5 mM) on germination and seedling growth of Eruca at various time 3 int...
