Article Synopsis
- Two broccoli cultivars, Parthenon and Naxos, were studied for their responses to different levels of NaCl over a 15-day period, revealing significant differences in their ion concentrations and mineral levels.
- Naxos showed greater sensitivity to salinity, resulting in reduced biomass compared to Parthenon, which adapted by accumulating more soluble sugars for osmotic adjustment.
- While Parthenon’s total glucosinolates remained stable under salinity stress, Naxos experienced a significant decrease in indole glucosinolates but increased its aliphatic glucosinolates, highlighting how each cultivar’s genetic background influences their nutritional properties in saline conditions.
