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

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

Auxin-sensitive Aux/IAA proteins mediate drought tolerance in Arabidopsis by regulating glucosinolate levels. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A detailed understanding of abiotic stress tolerance in plants is essential to provide food security in the face of increasingly harsh climatic conditions. Glucosinolates (GLSs) are secondary metabolites found in the Brassicaceae that protect plants from

Vessel-specific reintroduction of CINNAMOYL-COA REDUCTASE1 (CCR1) in dwarfed ccr1 mutants restores vessel and xylary fiber integrity and increases biomass [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Lignocellulosic biomass is recalcitrant toward deconstruction into simple sugars due to the presence of lignin. To render lignocellulosic biomass a suitable feedstock for the bio-based economy, plants can be engineered to have decreased amounts of lignin.

Reducing the Sinapine Levels of Camelina sativa Seeds Through Targeted Genome Editing of REF1

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sinapine (O‐sinapoyl choline) is the major phenolic metabolite typically found in the oil‐rich seeds of Brassicaceae such as Camelina sativa and Brassica napus. It imparts a bitter taste to the seeds as a defence mechanism against herbivores, but it also renders them less palatable to livestock.

Exogenous Methyl Jasmonate and Salicylic Acid Induce Subspecies-Specific Patterns of Glucosinolate Accumulation and Gene Expression in Brassica oleracea L.

open access: yesMolecules, 2016
Glucosinolates have anti-carcinogenic properties. In the recent decades, the genetics of glucosinolate biosynthesis has been widely studied, however, the expression of specific genes involved in glucosinolate biosynthesis under exogenous phytohormone ...

Pangenome Analysis Reveals Structural Variations Associated With Citric Acid Accumulation in Prunus mume

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pangenome can reveal a large number of variations, providing a more comprehensive view of the genetic diversity of species that a single reference genome cannot surpass. Here, we assembled the haplotype telomere‐to‐telomere genome and 10 chromosome‐level genomes, integrated with two previously reported genomes, and constructed a graph ...

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

open access: yesPLoS 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

A Novel Dual‐Target Compound Designed With Potent Herbicidal and Fungicidal Activity Inspired by Conserved Phytoene Synthase Domains

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The development of dual‐target inhibitors represents a cost‐effective strategy for integrated pest management. Here, we report the first dual‐target inhibitors designed against the evolutionarily conserved domain of phytoene synthase (PSY), a key enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis.

Aromatic glucosinolate biosynthesis pathway in Barbarea vulgaris and its response to Plutella xylostella infestation

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The inducibility of the glucosinolate resistance mechanism is an energy-saving strategy for plants, but whether induction would still be triggered by glucosinolate-tolerant Plutella xylostella (diamondback moth, DBM) after a plant had evolved a new ...
