Evaluating the impact of sprouting conditions on the glucosinolate content of Brassica oleracea sprouts

Phytochemistry, 2015
The glucosinolates content of brassica plants is a distinctive characteristic, representing a healthy advantage as many of these compounds are associated to antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic properties. Brassica sprouts are still an underutilized source of these bioactive compounds.

Side‐Chains Engineered Self‐Assembly of Ortho‐Benzodipyrrole‐Based Acceptors: Comprehensive Exploration of Structure‐Interface‐Photovoltaics Correlations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The side‐chain configuration in the bay region of C‐shaped ortho‐benzodipyrrole‐based non‐fullerene acceptors plays a crucial role in their self‐assembly, single‐crystal structures, and optoelectronic properties. The closely correlated molecular structure and performance underscore the importance of minimizing A–A self‐aggregation and enhancing D–A ...

Graft success and seedling growth responses of cashew (Anacardium occidentalis) to three concentrations of Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) and scion types

International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology
Cashew is an important tree crop with huge export potential and economic benefits. Seed propagation is a major problem because it takes the crop a much longer time to reach edible maturity compared to vegetative propagation.

Engineering Topographical Cues to Enhance Neural Regeneration in Spinal Cord Injury: Overcoming Challenges and Advancing Therapies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) poses significant challenges for regeneration due to a series of secondary injury mechanisms. How to use biomaterial approach to target the failed regeneration after SCI remains a critical challenge. This review systematically evaluates current strategies to optimize biomaterial topographies for neurite outgrowth, axonal ...
