Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association High versus moderate light conditions induced genotype-dependent differences in nutritionally important metabolites, especially anthocyanins and glucosinolates, between the two kale cultivars.
- Intervention effect In Black Magic, purple pigmentation intensified under high light due to increased anthocyanin accumulation, relative to moderate light.
- Intervention effect Black Magic showed reduced contents of indole glucosinolates under high light conditions compared with moderate light.
- Intervention effect Black Magic showed increased contents of aliphatic glucosinolates under high light conditions compared with moderate light.
- Association Correlation analysis of metabolite profiles suggested a cultivar-specific metabolic interplay between serine biosynthesis and the production of indole glucosinolates.
- Observation RNA sequencing identified candidate genes encoding metabolic enzymes and regulatory components behind anthocyanin and glucosinolate biosynthesis in kale.
