Evolution of Secondary Metabolites in <i>Eruca sativa</i> from the Microgreen to the Reproductive Stage: An Integrative Multi-Platform Metabolomics Approach.

ABSTRACT: Eruca sativa Mill. (rocket; Fam. Brassicaceae) is widely appreciated for its peculiar flavour and beneficial effects on human health. Glucosinolates (GSLs) and their enzymatic hydrolysis products, isothiocyanates (ITCs), are considered to be responsible for health-promoting effects and for sensory relevance in rocket, respectively. This study aimed at evaluating and comparing the metabolite profiles of rocket leaves collected at different phenological stages, to investigate the content evolution during cultivation. To minimise metabolic variability induced by environmental factors, plants were cultivated in an innovative growing system equipped with precision lighting and ventilation. A multi-platform metabolomics approach combining liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectro
