044 Selection for Floret Glucoraphanin Concentration Among Inbred Broccoli [PDF]
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. Italica Group) is a rich source of the aliphatic glucosinolate glucoraphanin. The glucoraphanin breakdown product, sulforaphane, has been shown to induce Phase II detoxication enzymes (e.g., Quinone Reductase) and has attracted attention as a potential chemoprotector against cancer. The objectives of this research were to

Light intensity and sulfur deficiency modulate growth and water dynamics in broccoli plants via aquaporin regulation. [PDF]
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 ...

Similarity of bioactivity between purified and semipurified glucoraphanin
The anti‐carcinogenic effects of cruciferous vegetables have been attributed to the hydrolysis products of glucosinolates; the primary glucosinolate in broccoli is glucoraphanin (GP). In this study, the goal was to determine if purified GP, in the absence of the plant‐derived hydrolyzing enzyme myrosinase, could affect pulmonary or hepatic ...

Variation of glucoraphanin and glucobrassicin: anticancer components in Brassica during processing [PDF]
Effects of cold storage and three common cooking practices, blanching, sauteing, and microwave cooking at different time intervals, on the content of glucosinolate (GSL) anticancer components in six Brassica vegetables were investigated. Eleven GSLs including progoitrin, glucoraphanin, sinigrin, glucoalyssin, gluconapin, glucobrassicanapin, glucoerucin,

Benefits and risks of the hormetic effects of dietary isothiocyanates on cancer prevention [PDF]
The isothiocyanate (ITC) sulforaphane (SFN) was shown at low levels (1-5 µM) to promote cell proliferation to 120-143% of the controls in a number of human cell lines, whilst at high levels (10-40 µM) it inhibited such cell proliferation.

Effects of selenium biofortification on crop nutritional quality [PDF]
Selenium (Se) at very low doses has crucial functions in humans and animals. Since plants represent the main dietary source of this element, Se-containing crops may be used as a means to deliver Se to consumers (biofortification). Several strategies have
