The composition and content of glucosinolates(GSs)among 43 genotypes of Chinese kale(B.alboglabra Bailey)were analyzed,including five aliphatic GSs(2-hydroxybut-3-enyl GS,2-propenyl GS,4-methylsulfinylbutyl GS,4-pentenyl GS and 3-butenyl GS)and four indolyl GSs(4-hydroxyindol-3-ylmethyl GS,indol-3-ylmethyl GS,4-methoxyindol-3-ylmethyl GS and neoindol-3-ylmethyl GS).The main individual GS was 3-butenyl GS.The contents of total GSs,total aliphatic GSs and total indolyl GSs ranged from 3.369 5-21.337 8 mg8226;g-1(DW),1.539 7-17.264 5 mg8226;g-1(DW),0.797 6-9.590 0 mg8226;g-1(DW).
