Abstract
Flavonoid analysis of the leaves inBrassica nigra, B. oleracea, B. campestris and their natural amphidiploids, led to the identification of 19 flavonol glycosides, including some acylated ones. These compounds were based on kaempferol, quercetin and isorhamnetin, except forB. oleracea, where no isorhamnetin glycosides were detected. Additive inheritance could normally be shown in the hybrids. Some considerations on the phylogenetic relationships within the group are expressed.
