Abstract

Plants of Brassicaceae family include worldwide commercially grown crops. Experiments o n this crop were conducted during the year 2011 in Vidhania and Jaisinghpura of Jaipur district Rajasthan , India. The aim of this study is to fi nd out primary metabolites like chlorophyll, sugar starch protein total phenol of cauliflower. Levels of plant m etabolites are strongly affected by genetic and environmental factors. Growth factors such as light, temperature, humidity, t ype of soil, application of fertilizers, damage caused by microorganisms and insects, stress induced by UV radiation, heavy metals and pesticides all alter metabolite composition of plants. Different types of pests’ cause changes in plant metabolite production. The results revealed the evidence of different infestation of cabbage by common herbivores. In this review we report primary metabolites of the cabbage along with the quantification after the pests’ effect.
