Effects of selenium biofortification on crop nutritional quality [PDF]
, 2015 Selenium (Se) at very low doses has crucial functions in humans and animals. Since plants represent the main dietary source of this element, Se-containing crops may be used as a means to deliver Se to consumers (biofortification). Several strategies have

Functional alleles of the flowering time regulator
BMC Plant Biology, 2012 Background Plants adopt different reproductive strategies as an adaptation to growth in a range of climates. In Arabidopsis thaliana FRIGIDA (FRI) confers a vernalization requirement and thus winter annual habit by increasing the expression of the MADS ...

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 2, Page 884-896, July 2025.Summary We investigated the impact of leaf color variation on herbivory, testing current hypotheses indicating that leaf color could influence herbivory through bottom‐up control (by signaling leaf quality and defenses) or top‐down control (by attracting predators).

Herbivore induction of the glucosinolate-myrosinase defense system: major trends, biochemical bases and ecological significance [PDF]
, 2009 Like many other plant defense compounds, glucosinolates are present constitutively in plant tissues, but are also induced to higher levels by herbivore attack.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2871-2887, July 2025.Summary Tipburn is a common physiological disorder in leafy vegetables, significantly impairing crop growth and commercial value. It is widely recognized that Ca2+ deficiency is a key factor triggering tipburn; however, the functions and regulatory mechanisms of genes conferring resistance remain largely unexplored.

Food Chemistry Advances, 2023 Brassica vegetables (Brassicaceae) produce a unique class of compounds known as glucosinolates. The breakdown products of glucosinolates, including isothiocyanates, are recognized as the primary sources of bioactivity and characteristic taste, flavor and

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 4, July/August 2025.ABSTRACT Comparative evaluation of defence responses in different Arabidopsis ecotypes to pathogens is useful for understanding how plants acquire disease resistance and finding valuable genetic resources for disease resistance. In this study, leaf chlorosis was delayed in Arabidopsis ecotype Dijon‐G (Di‐G) in response to Xanthomonas campestris pv ...

PLoS ONE, 2014 Polyploidy plays a crucial role in plant evolution. Brassica napus (2n = 38, AACC), the most important oil crop in the Brassica genus, is an allotetraploid that originated through natural doubling of chromosomes after the hybridization of its progenitor ...

Foods, 2019 Brassica vegetables are of great interest due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, being responsible for the glucosinolates (GLS) and their hydroxylated derivatives, the isothiocyanates (ITC).
