Chemical and mechanical defences of a metal‐hyperaccumulating plant species Arabidopsis halleri were more influenced by plant accession (genetic background) and insect herbivory by a leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae than by supplementation of the metalloid silicon.

Summary Plants typically host insect communities composed of multiple trophic levels that are intricately linked through interactions mediated by the shared food plant. Hyperparasitoids are top‐level carnivores in such systems, preying on parasitoid larvae developing inside herbivores. These hyperparasitoids can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of

Recent breeding efforts in Brassica have focused on the development of new oilseed feedstock crop for biofuels (e.g., ethanol, biodiesel, bio-jet fuel), bio-industrial uses (e.g., bio-plastics, lubricants), specialty fatty acids (e.g., erucic acid), and ...

Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate derived from broccoli and is related to various health‐promoting effects. By using metabolic profiling on the hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2 several effects on pathways such as TCA cycle, urea cycle and redox metabolism through SFN were identified.

Studies on the Myrosinase fromWasabia japonica:Purification and Some Properties of Wasabi Myrosinase
The myrosinase from Wasabi (Wasabia japonica) is effectively extracted by sonication. The enzyme is purified about 100-fold by gel-filtration on Sephacryl S-200, Sepharose 6B and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex. The enzyme is active only when L-ascorbic acid is added to the reaction mixture. General reducing reagents (2-mercaptoethanol and

Broccoli accumulates glucoraphanin, converted to sulforaphane, which activates nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2), which may reduce age‐related inflammation. Given sulforaphane's rapid excretion, we hypothesised that its effects are mediated via plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs).

SNRK3.15 Is a Crucial Component of the Sulfur Deprivation Response in Arabidopsis thaliana
ABSTRACT Sulfate deprivation (–S) results in numerous metabolic and phenotypic alterations in plants. Kinases are often key players in transducing nutrient status signals to molecular components involved in metabolic and developmental program regulation, but despite the physiological importance of sulfur, to date, no signaling kinases have been ...

Allyl isothiocyanate induced stress response in
Background Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) from mustard is cytotoxic; however the mechanism of its toxicity is unknown. We examined the effects of AITC on heat shock protein (HSP) 70 expression in Caenorhabditis elegans.
