Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Two-component activated chemical defenses are a major part of many plants’ strategies to disrupt herbivory. The activation step is often the β-glucosidase-catalyzed removal of a glucose moiety from a pro-toxin, leading to an unstable and toxic aglycone ...

Studies on the Myrosinase in Mustard Seed [PDF]
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1968 A characteristic effect of inorganic neutral salts on myrosinase was discovered. The salts containing monovalent anions had a remarkable inhibitory effect on the ascorbate-activated enzyme, but little on the non-activated enzyme. Such an effect was elucidated to be due to the anion.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Comparative phytochemical analysis of Lepidium sativum seed populations revealed environmentally driven variation in essential oil composition, while fatty acid profiles remained largely stable across populations. Benzyl nitrile was the dominant essential oil constituent, α‐linolenic acid was the major fatty acid, and all populations exhibited weak ...

The Gut Microbiome and Diet Interact to Dictate Personalized Response to Broccoli Sprout Consumption
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.The study investigated how diet, the gut microbiome, and their interactions influence the production of different types of sulforaphane metabolites, specifically bioactive (have health benefits) and inert (do not have health benefits). Mediation analysis explored these tripartite relationships.

Development of an Optimized Sample Presentation Method for Descriptive Aroma Analysis of Kimchi
Journal of Sensory Studies, Volume 41, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Kimchi is a traditional Korean fermented food prepared by mixing salted vegetables with seasonings and allowing them to ferment. Because it is a living fermented product, kimchi ripens rapidly, and its aroma characteristics change depending on the stage of ripening.

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 25, 2 July 2026.This work introduces the concept of pseudoglucosinolates (psGSLs) and reports the synthesis and evaluation of nitroreductase‐responsive psGSLs. These compounds represent a complementary prodrug strategy to natural glucosinolates (GSLs) for the controlled release of isothiocyanates (ITCs), enabling bio‐responsive protein labeling, as demonstrated in ...
