The effect of trace elements and solar UV-B radiation was studied on buckwheat sprouts. The amount of UV-B and UV-A absorbing compounds was higher in UV-B treated plants in comparison to the plants, grown under reduced UV-B radiation. Dry weight of cotyledons and stems of cotyledons was the highest in sprouts, grown from seeds soaked in solution of Na-selenate + Zn nitrate and exposed to UV-B radiation. The Korean powder made out of tartary buckwheat sprouts contained more flavonoids (rutin) in comparison to Slovenian bread.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 6091641The aim of our work was to find out, how the fertilization of soil, on which grows common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esulentum), influences the content of polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins in flowers, upper and lower leaves, and seeds of observed plant. Our results show, that the fertilization decreased the concentration oh the flavonoids and tannins in leaves, but not in flowers and in seeds. Fertilization had no effect on the concentration of polyphenols. The concentration of studied antioxidants in plants is followed in sequence: flowers>upper leaves>lower leaves >seeds.
