Glucosinolates in Diplotaxis and Eruca leaves: Diversity, taxonomic relations and applied aspects

Healthy and tasty: these attributes define edible wild (Diplotaxis tenuifolia) and salad rocket (Eruca sativa), for their glucosinolate profile, that was characterised by variation in some key components. Ample variability was also detected in other Diplotaxis, with extremely glucosinolate-rich species, and strongly characterised profiles, revealing likely taxonomic affinities among taxa previously examined by other criteria, and suggesting potentials of exploitation.
