Abstract

Seed glucosinolates have been determined for 14 wild Brassica species, by micro-scale GC analysis of silylated derivatives. Of these, 12 were investigated for the first time. The majority of taxa exhibited high alkenylglucosinolate levels, although prop-2-enylglucosinolate appears to be generally absent. Other known methionine-derived glucosinolates predominate in B. tournefortii, B. elongata and B. deflexa. Phenylalanine-derived 4-hydroxybenzylglucosinolate is characteristic of section Brassicaria plants and represents the first finding of this glucosinolate in authenticated Brassica material.
