Effects of selenium biofortification on crop nutritional quality [PDF]
, 2015 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

Leaves play a central role in the adaptation of nitrogen and sulfur metabolism to ammonium nutrition in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) [PDF]
, 2010 Background: The coordination between nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) assimilation is required to suitably provide plants with organic compounds essential for their development and growth.

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Napin and cruciferin, the predominant storage proteins in Brassica napus (rapeseed), exhibit favorable techno‐functional properties such as emulsification and gel formation, positioning them as promising candidates for the encapsulation and delivery of bioactive compounds. Their classification as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe),

Biological activity of glucosinolate derived compounds isolated from seed meal of Brassica crops and evaluated as plant and food protection agents [PDF]
, 2007 Glucosinolates are amino acid derived allelochemicals characteristic of plants of the order Capparales. These compounds are present in seeds of agriculturally common Brassica crops in varying quantities depending on the species (ref).
