Effect of northern climate and postharvest conditions on health related properties of selected Brassica vegetables in Norway

Some previous studies have shown that certain vegetables grown at high northern latitudes with cool summers, long photoperiods and special solar radiation develop different quality than vegetables grown in the south. However, very little is known about ho w Brassica vegetables respond to differen...
