Comparison of glucosinolates in two Thellungiela salsuginea ecotypes

Seven glucosinolates in two Thellungiela salsuginea( T. salsuginea) ecotypes( ecotype Shandong and ecotype Xinjiang) were identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. The total content of glucosinolates in the leaves of ecotype Shandong was significantly higher than one of ecotype Xinjiang at the young vegetative stage whereas their difference became vague at the late vegetative stage.However,the content of 3MTP,I3 M,4MOI3M and 2PE in leaves of ecotype Shandong was significantly higher than one in ecotype Xinjiang at two different growth stages. The total contents of glucosinolates were similar in the roots of two T. salsuginea ecotypes,whereas the content of 3MSOP and Allyl in ecotype Shandong was significantly higher than one in ecotype Xinjiang and the content of I3 M in ecotype Xinjiang was significantly higher than the one in ecotype Shandong.
