POTENSI TIGA VARIETAS TANAMAN SAWI SEBAGAI AKUMULATOR MERKURI PADA TANAH
Mercury is one of heavy metals that is highly dangerous as it affects human health when it pollutes soils used for growing plants. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential of Brassica oleracea, Brassica rapa, and Brassica juncea in ...

Influence of polyethylene microplastics on Brassica rapa: Toxicity mechanism investigation
Polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs) have toxicity to ecological environment, including animals and plants. This study investigated the toxicity of photodegraded PE-MPs on Brassica rapa, which is a typical model plant and only have around a 30-day life ...

Assessment of FAE1 polymorphisms in three Brassica species using EcoTILLING and their association with differences in seed erucic acid contents [PDF]
Background FAE1 (fatty acid elongase1) is the key gene in the control of erucic acid synthesis in seeds of Brassica species. Due to oil with low erucic acid (LEA) content is essential for human health and not enough LEA resource could be available, thus ...

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

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.

Evidence for suppression of immunity as a driver for genomic introgressions and host range expansion in races of Albugo candida, a generalist parasite [PDF]
How generalist parasites with wide host ranges can evolve is a central question in parasite evolution. Albugo candida is an obligate biotrophic parasite that consists of many physiological races that each specialize on distinct Brassicaceae host species.

Macropod progressive periodontal disease (MPPD) is a severe oral condition frequently observed in captive macropods, particularly red kangaroos (Osphranter rufus), yet its underlying biological features remain poorly understood. In this exploratory descriptive study, we investigated oral and fecal microbiomes and metabolomic profiles in captive red ...

HTT2 promotes plant thermotolerance in Brassica rapa [PDF]
Numerous regulatory genes participate in plant thermotolerance. In Arabidopsis, HEAT-INDUCED TAS1 TARGET2 (HTT2) is an important thermotolerance gene that is silenced by ta-siR255, a trans-acting siRNA. ta-siR255 is absent from heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis).
