“…Finch Savage & Leubner-Metzger (2006) reported seeds of Brassicaceae as physiologically dormant (PD) or non-dormant (ND). Maselli et al (1996) investigated B. insularis seed germination of seeds stored for 8 years (+5°C) from Corsica, Sardinia and Tunisia; final germination of Sardinian populations ranged from 10% to 94%, at 25°C, in the light (16 h irradiance day À1 ). Bacchetta et al (2007) found high germination (up to 97%) for B. insularis seeds collected in Sardinia.…”

Brassica insularis is a perennial plant growing on both coastal and inland cliffs. Three seed lots from Sardinia were analysed using an image analysis system to detect differences in seed morphology, both within and among populations. Germination requirements at constant (5-25 °C) and alternating temperatures (25/10 °C), both in light and in darkness, were evaluated for all populations. In addition, the effect of a dry after-ripening period (90 days at 25 °C) was also investigated. Morpho-colorimetric analysis clearly identified seeds from different populations and discriminated three chromatic categories for seeds belonging to the Isola dei Cavoli coastal population, but not for the inland Masùa and the coastal Planu Sartu. Inter-population variability was also observed in germination behaviour. B. insularis seeds germinated, with percentages up to 60%, in a wide range of temperatures (5-25 °C), and neither light nor dry after-ripening affected final germination percentages. Moisture content measurements were made for seeds of each colour, but there were no particular differences among colours. Inter-populational variability in germination behaviour may be a survival strategy for species growing under unpredictable environmental conditions, such as under Mediterranean climate, while heteromorphy may be due to independent evolutionary divergence processes of the Isola dei Cavoli population.

Volatile extracts of two wild cabbages, Brassica cretica and Brassica insularis, were studied by GC-MS, GC/FID, and GC-olfactometry/aroma extract dilution analysis (GC-O/AEDA). Major compounds were 3-butenyl cyanide (70% of the total GC/FID area) and 3-butenyl isothiocyanate (29%) in B. cretica and 2-phenylethyl cyanide (53%) and 2-phenylethyl isothiocyanate (21%) in B. insularis. AEDA revealed the impact of five heteroatomic trace compounds (diacetyl, methional, furfuryl thiol, 1-octen-3-one and skatole) with moderate to high flavour dilution (FD) factors that were detected only due to GC-O analyses.
