Environmentally friendly fertilizers can enhance yield and bioactive compounds in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis)

Abstract

Introduction Brassica species, including cabbage, canola, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and Chinese cabbage play an important role in agriculture and horticulture. They also contribute to human health (Warwick and Francis 1994; Hanson et al., 2009). Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) is one of the most important vegetable crops in Korea. It is the major component of kimchi, a Korean everyday food. Chinese cabbage contains a high level of useful nutritional components, including dietary fiber, vitamins (A, C, and E), minerals (iron, potassium, sodium, and zinc), antioxidants (carotenoids, anthocyanins, and tocopherols), and other secondary metabolites (glucosinolates, terpenes, flavonoids, steroids, and waxes) (

Induction of Glucoraphasatin Biosynthesis Genes by MYB29 in Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) Roots

“…GSLs were extracted using the method described by Lee et al, 2018 [ 5 ]. A total of 100 mg of freeze-dried powder with 1.5 mL of 70% ( V / V ) MeOH was incubated in a water bath at 70 °C for 5 min.…”

Major enzymes and transporters for aliphatic GSL biosynthesis in the Brassicaceae family include branched-chain aminotransferases (BCATs), methylthioalkylmalate synthases (MAMs), isopropyl malate isomerases (IPMIs), isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (IPMDH), bile acid transporter 5 (BAT5), CYP79 cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP79F1), CYP83 cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP83A1), S-alkyl-thiohydroximate lyase (SUR1), UDP-glucosyl transferase 74 (UGT74), sulfotransferases (SOTs) and flavin-monooxygenase glucosinolate S-oxygenases (FMO GS-OXs ) [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”

Pruning and additional fertilizer applications affect morphophysiological characters and flavonoid content of winged bean

“…During the growth and development of a plant, especially in the vegetative phase, such as the growth of stems and leaves, the most needed content is nitrogen (N) because nitrogen plays a vital role in forming chlorophyll, helpful in the process of photosynthesis. This photosynthesis process functions to obtain and produce assimilates for plants, with sufficient chlorophyll content to spur plant growth, especially in stimulating vegetative organs in a plant (Kim and Li, 2016;Adhikari et al, 2019;Lee et al, 2019;Simanjuntak et al, 2019). Adequate nutrients of N, P, and K are essential for plant growth (Husni and Rosadi, 2015;Kim and Li, 2016;Husnihuda et al, 2017;Adhikari et al, 2019;Lee et al, 2019).…”

Adequate doses of NPK fertilizer will affect the availability of nutrients for plants so that their growth and development are optimal and plants can carry out physiological processes properly (Adhikari et al, 2019;Lee et al, 2019;Roosta et al, 2020).…”

Enhancing productivity of perennial aromatic grasses on marginal lands through plant growth promoting rhizobacteria

“…A large body of literature advocates that the use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is an economical and ecologically sustainable approach and this can lighten our dependency on chemical fertilizers and help in reversing environmental degradation (Lee et al, 2019;Sayyed et al, 2019;Siddiqui, 2005). The PGPR promotes growth and provides resistance to crops against various biotic and abiotic threats and improves soil fertility (Gouda et al, 2018;Lal et al, 2019;Nadeem et al, 2014).…”
