Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of glucosinolates in cruciferous plants during their life cycles [PDF]
Glucosinolates produced by Brassica species were investigated in relation to biofumigation, a term used to describe the effects some allelochemicals, including glucosinolate derived products, may have on soil-borne pathogens or other herbivores.

Overexpression of the MYB29 transcription factor affects aliphatic glucosinolate synthesis in Brassica oleracea [PDF]
Isothiocyanates, the bio-active hydrolysis products of glucosinolates, naturally produced by several Brassicaceae species, play an important role in human health and agriculture.

Combined light stress and sulfur deficiency intensify broccoli adaptive responses, triggering distinct aquaporin expression patterns and highlighting a key compensatory mechanism for maintaining water homeostasis. Abstract Sulfur plays a critical role in plant secondary metabolism, particularly in the biosynthesis of glucosinolates, where it functions ...

Effects of crop species on soil functions and soil multifunctionality are species‐specific
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil multifunctionality is essential for sustainable agriculture, as soils not only need to support crop growth but also maintain soil biodiversity and sustain other critical ecosystem functions.

Exploring potential strategies for haploid induction based on double fertilization in plants
Summary Haploid induction (HI), an indispensable procedure in doubled haploid breeding, has attracted increasing attention in crop genetic improvement due to its ability to rapidly fix desirable traits in a homozygous state, thereby shortening the breeding cycle.

Broccoli shipping odors caused by poor air circulation and low oxygen levels
BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE air exchange in the storage environment, broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Italica cv Gem) developed a strong, offensive odor after 8 to 10 days at 2.5°C (36.5°F).

Habitat manipulation through the incorporation of non-crop plants such as trap crops (to lure pests away from the cash crop) and insectary plants (to provide resources for natural enemies) into agro-ecosystems is an ecological approach to pest management.
