About

Barbarea vulgaris, also called wintercress (usual common name), or alternatively winter rocket, rocketcress, yellow rocketcress, yellow rocket, wound rocket, herb barbara, creases, or creasy greens, is a biennial herb of the genus Barbarea, belonging to the family Brassicaceae. However, identification of some ITCs in that report was of questionable reliability (Olsen et al., 2016). The limit of detection was estimated as 0.1 μmol / g dry wt. at normal sample concentration (Fig. 6 E) and 10 - fold lower when using concentrated samples or high injection volumes. These treatments were followed by GSL analysis using HPLC-UV for observing the general GSL profile and by ion trap HPLC-MS with injection of quite concentrated samples for a search for induced GSLs. Plant in well-drained soil in a suitable position. Water during establishment.
