Abstract: Glucosinolates composition and contents were evaluated in radish seedlings of 20 genotypes including three groups- autumn-white radish, spring-white radish and cherry radish. The total glucosinolate content varied with the groups. The autumn-white varieties had the highest total glueosinolate content, followed by spring-white varieties and cherry radishes. Nine types of glucosinolates were identified in the radish seedlings. And the aromatic glucosino- lates were reported in radish for the first time. The main glucosinolate in autumn-white radish and spring-white rad- ish was 4-methylthio-3-butenyl-glucosinolates which made up 45% -77% of the total amount. In cherry radish,the indol-3-mehtyl glucosinolate was the predominant glucosinolate which made up 42% -72% of the total amount. 4- methyhhio-3-butenyl-glucosinolates,the main glueosinolate in white radish seedlings,is benefit for human's health as a detoxification in the hepatoma cell line.
