From Functional Ingredients to Functional Foods: Focus on Brassicales Plant Species and Glucosinolates [PDF]
FoodsThe concept of functional nutrition has garnered mounting attention, primarily due to growing evidence that specific dietary components have the capacity to provide health benefits that extend beyond the mere supply of basic nutrients.

Impacts of Sulfur on Glucosinolate Metabolism: From Arabidopsis to Wild Brassicales [PDF]
PlantsGlucosinolates (GSLs), sulfur-containing secondary metabolites produced by cruciferous plants, act as sulfur (S) stores, repel pests, and exhibit cancer-preventive properties in humans.

Characterization of Caleosin Genes in Carica papaya and Insights into Lineage-Specific Family Evolution in Brassicales [PDF]
PlantsCaleosins (CLOs) or peroxygenases (PXGs), a class of structural proteins of lipid droplets (LDs), comprise a small family of multifunctional proteins widely involved in oil accumulation, organ development, and stress responses.

An antiviral jacalin-like lectin gene contributes to nonhost resistance and host determination of potexviruses among Brassicaceae. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Plant resistance influences the host range of pathogens; however, the mechanism driving this influence remains poorly understood. Brassicaceae species are not natural hosts of potexviruses, for reasons that have not yet been determined. This study investigated the molecular basis of nonhost resistance (NHR) to potexviruses in the Brassicaceae ...

Multiple glutathione-S-transferases detoxify diverse glucosinolate-based defenses of Brassicales plants in a generalist lepidopteran herbivore (Spodoptera littoralis) [PDF]
Communications BiologyBrassicales plants defend themselves with glucosinolates that, upon herbivory, are hydrolyzed into toxic isothiocyanates (ITCs) and other derivatives. The side chain diversity of glucosinolates results in a range of structurally distinct products, but ...
