Kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) is one of the most frequently consumed leafy vegetables globally, as it contains numerous nutrients; essential amino acids, phenolics, vitamins, and minerals, and is particularly rich in glucosinolates. However, the differences in the biosynthesis of glucosinolates and related gene expression among kale cultivars has been poorly reported. In this study, we investigated glucosinolates profile and content in three different kale cultivars, including green (‘Man-Choo’ and ‘Mat-Jjang’) and red kale (‘Red-Curled’) cultivars grown in a vertical farm, using transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses. The growth and development of the green kale cultivars were higher than those of the red kale cultivar at 6 weeks after cultivation. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed five glucosinolates in the ‘Man-Choo’ cultivar, and four glucosinolates in the ‘Mat-Jjang’ and ‘Red-Curled’ cultivars. Glucobrassicin was the most predominant glucosinolate followed by gluconastrutiin in all the cultivars. In contrast, other glucosinolates were highly dependent to the genotypes. The highest total glucosinolates was found in the ‘Red-Curled’ cultivar, which followed by ‘Man-Choo’ and ‘Mat-Jjang’. Based on transcriptome analysis, eight genes were involved in glucosinolate biosynthesis. The overall results suggest that the glucosinolate content and accumulation patterns differ according to the kale cultivar and differential expression of glucosinolate biosynthetic genes.

본 연구의 목적은 3가지의 배추과 작물의 새싹에서 적색(R)과 원적외선(FR)광에 초점을 맞추어서 glucosinolate(GSL), 총 페놀, 총 플라보노이드, 비타민 C 함량, 항산화 활성을 평가하는 것이다. 제한된 환경조건에서 5일된 새싹에 3가지의 R/FR비율을 2일동안 24시간 노출시켜 식물화학물질과 항산화활성을 대조군[형광등, R:B(8:2), 암조건]과 비교하였다. 총 GSL 함량은 각 처리 기간 동안 3가지의 작물 중 브로콜리에서 가장 높았으며, 브로콜리 새싹에서 R/FR 비율이 증가함에 따라 총 GSL 함량이 감소하는 반면 배추와 무의 새싹에서는 유의하지 않은 결과를 보여주었다. 배추 및 브로콜리의 주요 GSL인 progointrin은 대조군에 비해 R/FR 비율이 감소함에 따라 최대 38%, 69%까지 감소하였다. 3가지 배추과 새싹에서 페놀, 플라보노이드 및 비타민 C의 함량 모두 암조건에서 가장 낮았다. 총 페놀 및 항산화 활성은 3가지 배추과 새싹에서 R/FR 비율이 감소할수록 증가하는 반면, 총 플라보노이드와 비타민 C 함량은 작물 간 다른 양상을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 FR의 보광에 따라 배추과 새싹의 기능적 품질을 향상시킬 것으로 기대된다.

Chinese cabbage, a traditional food source in Asia, has been highlighted due to its functional aspects. In particular, breakdown products of glucosinolates (GSLs) that contribute to the unique flavor and fragrance of Brassicaceae vegetables and act in plant defense mechanisms has been known as an anti-cancer agent. The objective of this study was to investigate optimal condition to grow Chinese cabbage with focusing on enhancing glucosinolates contents. The main tools for our analysis were correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA), and they were applied into a data obtained from Chinese cabbage grown in the plant factory. The data included glucosinolate contents and growth conditions (day, temperature, humidity, and EC). As a result of correlation analysis, day showed the largest significance with glucosinolates, followed by EC and temperature. The results of PCA showed that three principal components were able to explain more than 75% of variations in glucosinolate contents caused by different growth conditions. The first principal component (PC1) was mainly represented by day, EC, and temperature, while the main factors in the second (PC2) and the third (PC3) components were represent humidity, and , respectively. In conclusion, glucosinolate contents in Chinese cabbage were largely affected by day, EC, and temperature during the growth.

The objective of this study was to compare the anticancer activity of glucosinolates against four different cancer cells; SNU-251, SNU-354, SNU-C4, MCF-7 and to determine the amounts of glucosinolates in mustard leaves. Green and red mustard leaves were cultivated on the field of Rural Development Administration from May to July, 2010. After the leaves were harvest and lypophilized, the fine powder was extracted with boiling 70% methanol(v/v) for the measurement of anticancer activity and then applied to the cancer cells obtained from Korean Cell Line Bank(KCLB). The anticancer activity of red leaf mustard was higher than that of green mustard leaf, particularly in SNU-251 for 24 hr and in SNU-C4 for 48 hr. In both green and red mustard leaf, sinigrin was the most abundant glucosinolte and was determined as 4.71 and 3.06 ㎎/g dry wt., respectively, but glucoiberin only presented 0.14 ㎎/g dry wt. with minor amounts.

This study examined the total glucosinolate (GSL) and isothiocyanate (ITC) contents according to different processing conditions; fresh Kimchi cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis), salted Kimchi cabbage and kimchi (storage temperature 4℃ and 20℃) using two different cultivars (Bomatnorang and Chunkwang). Four GSL peaks representing gluconapin, glucobrassicanapin, glucobrassicin and 4-methoxyglucobrassicin were detected in Kimchi cabbage by HPLC and HPLC/MS analysis. The total GSL contents of fresh Kimchi cabbage of Bomatnorang and Chunkwang were 21.37±1.06 μg/g dry weight (DW) and 20.96±3.33 μg/g DW, respectively. After salting, the total GSL contents of salted Kimchi cabbage decreased by 39% and 52% in Bomatnorang and Chunkwang, respectively. Finally, the total GSL contents of kimchi after storage at 20℃ decreased by 83% and 56% in Bomatnorang and Chunkwang, respectively. The extracted ITC contents were analyzed by GC/MS. Three ITC peaks were detected in Kimchi cabbage representing 2-phenylethyl ITC, 3-butenyl ITC and 4-pentenyl ITC. The 2-phenylethyl ITC levels increased during the salting process but this generally fell during storage at 20℃ as kimchi. The 3-butenyl ITC levels of Kimchi cabbage according to processing decreased rapidly due to salting and then decreased slowly during storage as kimchi. The 4-pentenyl ITC of Kimchi cabbage was lost during the salting process. The results for the change in GSL and ITC contents during the kimchi making process will be used in the food industry.

Glucosinolates (GLS) are secondary metabolites commonly occurring in Brassica crops and more than 130 different GLS have been reported in diverse plants. Recent studies have indicated that isothiocyanate (ITC) derived from GLS by hydrolysis had a potential for anticancer activity against several rumor cells on human. In addition, it was found that glucoraphenin (GRE) and glucoraphasatin (GRH) were abundant and differently regulated in radish plant, depending upon organs and developmental stages. Microspores isolated from flower buds of radish were cultured in vitro to obtain doubled haploid (DH; but homozygous) lines in a short time period. The present study was conducted to determine the concentration of GRE and GRH, an immediate precursor of ITC from DH lines of radish plant. Total 41 DH lines were selected based on flow cytometry analysis. The seeds, obtained by bud pollination from the DH lines, were planted and 3-weeks-old young seedlings were used for the major aliphatic GLS analysis. Amounts of GRH were highly variable from the DH lines ranging from 2.3 to 31.5 mg·g-1 dry weight (DW). The donor plant (DP) contained 18.4 mg·g-1 DW. It was noticed that there were 6-fold differences in the amounts of GRE between the highest and lowest DH lines. Among 41 lines tested, 14 DH lines of radish plant were significantly reduced in the amount of sum of GRH and GRE compared those of the donor plant (P<0.05), whereas only three lines increased. The results obtained in the present study will lend to select genotypes with low and high GLS contents of radish plant. In addition, those DH lines will aid to elucidate a biosynthetic pathway of the aliphatic GLS in radish plant, which remain for the most part unsolved.
