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

BoMyrosinase plays an essential role in sulforaphane accumulation in response to selenite treatment in broccoli

Horticultural Plant Journal
Sulforaphane, a naturally specialized metabolite, plays significant roles in human disease prevention and plant defense. Myrosinase (MY) is a key gene responsible for the catalysis of sulforaphane formation, but the molecular mechanisms through which MY ...

Glutathione Biosynthesis via Activation of the Nuclear Factor E2–Related Factor 2 (Nrf2) – Antioxidant-Response Element (ARE) Pathway Is Essential for Neuroprotective Effects of Sulforaphane and 6-(Methylsulfinyl) Hexyl Isothiocyanate

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
Oxidative stress plays pivotal roles in aging, neurodegenerative disease, and pathological conditions such as ischemia. We investigated the effect of sulforaphane and 6-(methysulfinyl) hexyl isothiocyanate (6-HITC), a naturally occurring isothiocyanate ...

Isothiocyanate from Broccoli, Sulforaphane, and Its Properties [PDF]

Journal of Medicinal Food, 2019
Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate occurring in stored form as glucoraphanin in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, and kale, and at high levels in broccoli especially in broccoli sprouts. Glucoraphanin requires the plant enzyme myrosinase for converting it into sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is metabolized through mercapturic acid pathway,

Selenium biofortification: integrating one health and sustainability

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 1955-1967, 15 March 2026.
Abstract Selenium (Se) biofortification in crops has emerged as a promising strategy to address global Se deficiencies and enhance both agricultural productivity and human health. Increasing the Se content of crops through biofortification improves their resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses and boosts their nutritional value.
