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.

Optimizing rapeseed protein purification: a continuous chromatographic approach for napin and cruciferin

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),

The effects of glucosinolates and their breakdown products on necrotrophic fungi.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Glucosinolates are a diverse class of S- and N-containing secondary metabolites that play a variety of roles in plant defense. In this study, we used Arabidopsis thaliana mutants that contain different amounts of glucosinolates and glucosinolate ...

Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of glucosinolates in cruciferous plants during their life cycles [PDF]

, 2004
Glucosinolates produced by Brassica species were investigated in relation to biofumigation, a term used to describe the effects some allelochemicals, including glucosinolate derived products, may have on soil-borne pathogens or other herbivores.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

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

Impact of spring rape varieties on protein extraction from press cake, emulsifying properties and antinutrient content

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Rapeseed is the second most cultivated oilseed globally after soybean and a protein‐rich press cake is generated after liberation of the oil. However, its use in food applications is limited by high levels of anti‐nutrients such as glucosinolates and phytic acid. Although differences between botanical varieties are known, controlled

A systems biology approach identifies a R2R3 MYB gene subfamily with distinct and overlapping functions in regulation of aliphatic glucosinolates.

PLoS ONE, 2007
BackgroundGlucosinolates are natural metabolites in the order Brassicales that defend plants against both herbivores and pathogens and can attract specialized insects. Knowledge about the genes controlling glucosinolate regulation is limited.
