Effects of irrigation with rich-arsenic water on an arugula (Eruca sativa L.) crop [PDF]
Large areas of Chaco Pampean plain have aquifers containing high arsenic values. The use of these waters to irrigate horticultural species, in particular, those for fresh consumption could have direct effects on human health as well as on agricultural ...

Enhancement of glucosinolate and isothiocyanate profiles in brassicaceae crops: addressing challenges in breeding for cultivation, storage, and consumer-related traits [PDF]
Glucosinolates (GSLs) and isothiocyanates (ITCs) produced by Brassicaceae plants are popular targets for analysis due to the health benefits associated with them. Breeders aim to increase the concentrations in commercial varieties; however, there are few
