Аннотация:Celery is one of the major nutraceutical vegetable species due to the high dietary and medicinalproperties of all of its plant parts. Yield, growth and produce quality of six celery genotypes belongingto leafy (Elixir and Samurai), stalk (Atlant and Primus) or root (Egor and Dobrynya) types, as wellas the distribution of biomass, sugars, mineral elements and antioxidants among the different plantparts, were assessed. Within the celery root type, cultivar Dobrynya resulted in higher yield than Egor,whereas the genotype did not significantly affect the marketable plant part production of leafy and stalktypes. Leaf/petiole ratios relevant to biomass, total dissolved solids, sugars, ascorbic acid, flavonoids,antioxidant activity and ash, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu and Se content were significantly affected by the celerytype examined. Ash content was highest in the leaves and lowest in the roots. Celery antioxidantsystem was characterized by highly significant relationships between ascorbic acid, polyphenols,flavonoids, antioxidant activity and Zn. Among the celery types analyzed, the highest values ofchlorophyll, Fe and Mn content as well as antioxidant activity were recorded in leaves from rootgenotypes, which suggests interesting nutraceutical prospects of the aforementioned plant parts forhuman utilization.
