A method for breeding high-sulforaphane content broccoli seeds
By using a specific ratio of glucoraphane synthesis promoters, ESP inhibitors, and plant growth regulators, the problem of low glucoraphane content in broccoli seeds was solved, resulting in a significant increase in glucoraphane content and improved glucoraphane yield.

AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, broccoli seeds contain low levels of sulforaphane and have low yields of sulforaphane. Furthermore, epidermal specific sulfur protein (ESP) in broccoli seeds promotes the degradation of sulforaphane into nitrile compounds, leading to a decrease in the conversion rate of sulforaphane. Existing methods are time-consuming and have limited effectiveness.
By using a specific ratio of glucoraphane synthesis promoters, ESP inhibitors, and plant growth regulators in combination, and spraying broccoli leaves, the synthesis and accumulation of glucoraphane are promoted. This is achieved through the synergistic effect of components such as selenomethionine, chitosan oligosaccharide, tryptophan, seaweed extract, N-acetylcysteine, EDTA-2Na, gibberellin, naphthaleneacetic acid, and 6-benzylaminopurine, thereby increasing the glucoraphane content in broccoli seeds.
The study significantly increased the glucoraphane content in broccoli seeds. The synergistic effect of glucoraphane synthesis promoters and plant growth regulators effectively improved the yield of glucoraphane. The ESP inhibitor suppressed the activity of ESP, thus achieving the cultivation of broccoli seeds with high glucoraphane content.
