Effect of ascorbic acid and glutathione on the production of nitriles by myrosinase [PDF]
Biofumigation is based on the use of glucosinolate-containing plants for the control of soil-borne pest and diseases. Upon tissue damage, glucosinolates are hydrolyzed by endogenous enzymes (myrosinase) and a range of biologically active compounds are ...

A Photonastic Prototissue Capable of Photo‐Mechano‐Chemical Transduction
Mimicking energy transduction in prototissue assemblies remains a challenge of bottom‐up synthetic biology. In this work, prototissues integrating protocells with photothermal gold nanoparticle proto‐organelles and a thermoresponsive polymeric proto‐cortex are developed.

Downy mildew resistance and genetic variability in a wild rocket germplasm collection
Abstract One hundred accessions of a “core collection” of Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC. and Eruca spp. were screened at seedling stage for resistance to downy mildew. Accessions tested at the seedling stage were assigned to 0–6 interaction phenotypes.

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

Evaluation of an FDA approved library against laboratory models of human intestinal nematode infections [PDF]
Treatment options for infections with soil-transmitted helminths (STH) - Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and the two hookworm species, Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus - are limited despite their considerable global health burden ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are functionalized and used as crosslinkers to construct hydrogels, compatible with common crosslinking chemistries in biomaterial scaffolds. EV crosslinkers provided stress relaxation properties, promoting cell growth. They also enabled efficient protein delivery while maintaining biological activity, as VEGF‐loaded EV ...

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Releasing Capacity of Isothiocyanates from Moringa oleifera Lam.
Moringa oleifera Lam. is rich in phytochemical compounds especially glucosinolates (GSs) and isothiocyanates (ITCs), which are active compounds for cancer chemoprevention benefits of Brassicaceae vegetables.
