Abstract
Duch.) sprouts. Drought and flood differently influenced chlorophylls, carotenoids, and porphyrins, with drought having a stronger inhibitory effect on chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll, and porphyrins. Carotenoids and glucosinolates increased under drought but decreased with flooding, suggesting that these compounds play a crucial role in drought tolerance. Nitrate increased with drought from 13.11 ± 1.05 mg/g dw to 22.41 ± 1.20 mg/g dw but decreased under flooding to 5.17 ± 1.03 mg/g dw, and oxalic acid was reduced by drought only (from 48.94 ± 1.30 mg/g dw to 46.43 ± 0.64 mg/g dw). Flood reduced proteins by 29%, phenolics by 15%, flavonoids by 10%, flavonols by 11%, tannins by 36%, and proanthocyanidins by 19%, while drought decreased flavonoids by 23%. Total phenolics and proanthocyanidins were increased by drought by 29% and 7%, respectively, while flooding decreased hydroxycinnamic acids by 13%. Both stress types influenced individual polyphenols differently: drought diminished ferulic acid by 17% and increased sinapic acid by 30%, while flooding reversed these effects and enhanced kaempferol by 22%. These compounds, along with proline (which increased by 139% under drought), emerged as biomarkers of water stress. Flood impacted antioxidant capacity more significantly, while drought-stressed broccoli extracts better protected plasmid DNA against oxidative damage. These findings underline the metabolic plasticity of broccoli sprouts and their potential in targeted crop management for water stress resilience.
