Under salt stress, the sulforaphane content in broccoli seedlings usually increases. This change is to resist the oxidative stress caused by salt stress, because sulforaphane is a compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which can help plants resist adversity.
The specific content changes depend on many factors, such as the intensity and duration of salt stress, broccoli varieties and so on. Studies have shown that with the intensification of salt stress, the sulfur content of radish will further increase.
