Chromosome‐scale assembly of the Moringa oleifera Lam. genome uncovers polyploid history and evolution of secondary metabolism pathways through tandem duplication

The Plant Genome, Volume 15, Issue 3, September 2022., 2022
Abstract The African Orphan Crops Consortium (AOCC) selected the highly nutritious, fast growing and drought tolerant tree crop moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) as one of the first of 101 plant species to have its genome sequenced and a first draft assembly was published in 2019.

The in vitro toxicity of nitrile and epithionitrile derivatives of glucosinolates from rutabaga in human and bovine liver cells [PDF]

, 2018
Previous evidence suggests that select nitrile and epithionitrile derivatives of glucosinolates can cause liver disease in cows grazing on brassica forage crops. A toxic incidence in New Zealand in cattle grazing brassica led us to investigate the direct in vitro hepatotoxicity and possible inhibition of the ABCG2 transporter of five nitrile compounds.

In vitro activity of isothiocyanates against Fusarium graminearum

Plant Pathology, Volume 71, Issue 3, Page 594-601, April 2022., 2022
Among the tested isothiocyanates, allyl and methyl isothiocyanates were more efficient overall, showing lower ED50 values (35–150 mg/L) for conidial germination and mycelial radial growth of Fusarium graminearum. Abstract Isothiocyanates are biotoxic degradation products formed as a result of enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates present in Brassica ...

Cruciferous Vegetables and Their Bioactive Metabolites: from Prevention to Novel Therapies of Colorectal Cancer

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The Brassicaceae family, known as cruciferous vegetables, includes many economically important species, mainly edible oil plants, vegetable species, spice plants, and feed plants. Cruciferous vegetables are foods rich in nutritive composition and are also a good source of dietary fiber.

Comparative Innate Responses of the Aphid Parasitoid Diaeretiella rapae to Alkenyl Glucosinolate Derived Isothiocyanates, Nitriles, and Epithionitriles

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2008
Cruciferous plants (Brassicaceae) are characterized by the accumulation of a group of secondary metabolites known as glucosinolates that, following attack by pathogens or herbivores, may be hydrolyzed to one of a number of products including isothiocyanates and nitriles.

Antitumor activity of Lepidium latifolium and identification of the epithionitrile 1‐cyano‐2,3‐epithiopropane as its major active component

Molecular Carcinogenesis, 2017
Consumption of Brassica (Cruciferae) vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of cancer, but identification of the active components and insights into the underlying molecular events are scarce. Here we found that an extract of Lepidium latifolium, a cruciferous plant native to southern Europe, Mediterranean countries and Asia, showed in vitro ...

Gut Glucosinolate Metabolism and Isothiocyanate Production [PDF]

, 2018
The glucosinolate‐myrosinase system in plants has been well studied over the years while relatively little research has been undertaken on the bacterial metabolism of glucosinolates.

Transcript and protein profiling identify candidate gene sets of potential adaptive significance in New Zealand Pachycladon [PDF]

, 2010
Background Transcript profiling of closely related species provides a means for identifying genes potentially important in species diversification. However, the predictive value of transcript profiling for inferring downstream-physiological processes has

Glucosinolates, a natural chemical arsenal: More to tell than the myrosinase story [PDF]

, 2023
Glucosinolates are a group of thioglucosides that belong to the class of plant nitrogen-containing natural products. So far, very little biological activity has been associated with intact glucosinolates.

Experience may outweigh cue similarity in maintaining a persistent host‐plant‐based evolutionary trap

Ecological Monographs, Volume 90, Issue 3, August 2020., 2020
Abstract Rapid environmental change can decouple previously reliable cues from important resources, causing specialized recognition systems to result in maladaptive behaviors. For native herbivorous insects, such evolutionary traps are often imposed by attractive invasive plants that prove harmful to their offspring. Despite the costs of ovipositing on
