Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) is an excellent source of glucosinolates (GLS) that could reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biological traits, pigment contents, color, and GLS content of 13 cabbage varieties. This study found that there were significant differences in the GLS content for various developmental stages of cabbage varieties, and the accumulation of GLS in young leaves was higher than that in mature stages. In most of the samples, the GLS content accumulated in different parts and changed as inner leaf >: middle leaf >: condensed stem >: root. Double haploids of the M18-15 variety may be good candidates for future breeding programs and consumers, due to their high GLS content (ranging from 201.10 to 396.25 nmol mg&minus:1 FW). GLS also act as a defense substance, and the data related to GLS accumulation patterns in different leaf locations and root parts may be useful for understanding leaf defense mechanisms and potential source&ndash:sink relationships. In addition, the observed interspecific variability is beneficial for breeders to develop Brassica varieties with high GLS content, as well as for the development of new functional food additives.
