Diversified glucosinolate metabolism: biosynthesis of hydrogen cyanide and of the hydroxynitrile glucoside alliarinoside in relation to sinigrin metabolism in Alliaria petiolata

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard, Brassicaceae) contains the glucosinolate sinigrin as well as alliarinoside, a γ-hydroxynitrile glucoside structurally related to cyanogenic glucosides.

Gallic Acid‐Responsive microRNAs Reprogram Lignification During Drought Acclimation Process in Spearmint

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mentha spicata L. (spearmint) is a high‐value aromatic and medicinal species, whose productivity is strongly affected by water deficit. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying drought acclimation in this mint remain largely unexplored. Thus, here, we investigated the microRNA‐mediated regulatory processes triggered in M.

Bunias erucago L.: Glucosinolate Profile and In Vitro Biological Potential

Molecules, 2019
Bunias erucago belongs to the Brassicaceae family, which represents a forgotten crop of the Euro-Mediterranean area. The aim of the present study was to determine the glucosinolate profile in different plant parts and biological properties (antioxidant ...

Glucose enhances indolic glucosinolate biosynthesis without reducing primary sulfur assimilation

Scientific Reports, 2016
The effect of glucose as a signaling molecule on induction of aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthesis was reported in our former study. Here, we further investigated the regulatory mechanism of indolic glucosinolate biosynthesis by glucose in Arabidopsis ...

Distinct Defence Mechanisms of Allelopathic Rice Against Quinclorac‐Susceptible and ‐Resistant Barnyardgrass: Involvement of Specific Metabolites and Rhizosheath Microbiota

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allelopathic rice is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for sustainable weed management. Resistance to the herbicide quinclorac is widespread in barnyardgrass, but it remains unclear whether allelopathic rice exerts the same defence against herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant barnyardgrass. We conducted integrated transcriptomic,

Metabolic Enzyme MeHNL11 Regulates MeCAS1b Transcription for Cyanide Reutilization in Response to Nitrate Deficiency in Cassava

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) exhibits exceptional tolerance to infertile soils and contains abundant cyanogenic glucosides (CGs). Previous research has indicated that CGs can serve as a significant reservoir of organic nitrogen in plants.

Isothiocyanates are detected in human synovial fluid following broccoli consumption and can affect the tissues of the knee joint

Scientific Reports, 2017
Osteoarthritis is a major cause of disability and there is no current pharmaceutical treatment which can prevent the disease or slow its progression. Dietary advice or supplementation is clearly an attractive option since it has low toxicity and ease of ...

Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

QTL Mapping of Several Seed Quality Traits in the DH Population NPZ06 × NPZ09 (Brassica napus L.) for Marker‐Assisted Selection

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing nutritional quality of oilseed rape requires deeper insight into the genetic control of seed quality traits. This study analysed the effect of varying soil phosphorus (P) levels on seed quality traits in the hybrid cultivar Architect. NIRS and laboratory methods were used to quantify total seed P and phytic acid (IP6) content.

Herbivore Diet Breadth and Host Plant Defense Mediate the Tri-Trophic Effects of Plant Toxins on Multiple Coccinellid Predators.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Host plant defenses are known to cascade up food chains to influence herbivores and their natural enemies, but how herbivore and predator traits and identity mediate such tri-trophic dynamics is largely unknown. We assessed the influence of plant defense
