Abstract
Effect of nitrogen level (50, 100, 200, 300, 400 mg/L) on pigment accumulation of flower stalk in Chinese kale (Brassica alboglabraBailley) (cv. Zhonghua) were studied by hydroponics. The results showed that chlorophyll concentration of flower stalk in 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L N treatments were higher before stage Ⅲ, those in 50 mg/L were the highest, while those in 200 mg/L N treatment were the highest at stage Ⅳ and Ⅴ. Carotenoid concentrations in 50mg/L N treatment were the highest during flower stalk development (except at stageⅤ), while those in 100mg/L N treatment were the highest at stagesⅤ.The concentrations of flavonoids and anthocyanin in flower stalk epidermis were the highest in 100 mg/L N treatment, those in 50mg/L N treatment were higher than other treatments. The ratio of anthocyanin/chlorophyll in flower stalk epidermis also were the highest in 100 mg/L N treatment, and higher in 50mg/L N treatment, thus the epidermis appeared mauve in 50 and 100mg/L N treatments.
