Growth conditions trigger genotype-specific metabolic responses that affect the nutritional quality of kale cultivars.

Abstract excerpt

Kales (Brassica oleracea convar. acephala) are fast-growing, nutritious leafy vegetables ideal for year-round indoor farming. However, selection of the best cultivars for growth under artificial lighting necessitates a deeper understanding of leaf metabolism in different kale types. Here we examined a curly-leaved cultivar, Half Tall, and a lacinato-type cultivar, Black Magic, under moderate light (130 µmol...
