Diffusible signal factor primes plant immunity against Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) via JA signaling in Arabidopsis and Brassica oleracea
ConclusionThese results indicated that DSF-primed resistance against Xcc was dependent on the JA pathway. Our findings advanced the understanding of QS signal-mediated communication and provide a new strategy for the control of black rot in Brassica oleracea.

Indole-3-acetonitrile is a critical molecule with weed allopathic suppression function in broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica)
Chem Biodivers. 2023 Jun 18:e202300444. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202300444. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCruciferous plants are frequently used for ecologically benign weed control in agricultural production. The varieties were the most effective, Most effective Broccoli varieties were screened using the entropy method-based topsis model at first. Result showed that Lvwawa and Lvbaoshi were most effective in allelopathic suppression on radishes. Column and thin-layer chromatography were used to extract the allelopathic compounds from broccoli residues, which contained various herbicidal active substances; among them, purified si...

Anticancer properties of sulforaphane: current insights at the molecular level
Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate with multiple biomedical applications. Sulforaphane can be extracted from the plants of the genus Brassica. However, broccoli sprouts are the chief source of sulforaphane and are 20 to 50 times richer than mature broccoli as they contain 1,153 mg/100 g. SFN is a secondary metabolite that is produced as a result of the hydrolysis of glucoraphanin (a glucosinolate) by the enzyme myrosinase. This review paper aims to summarize and understand the mechanisms behind the anticancer potential of sulforaphane. The data was collected by searching PubMed/MedLine, Scopus, Web of Science, and Go...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1272: Ectopic Expression of BcCUC2 Involved in Sculpting the Leaf Margin Serration in Arabidopsis thaliana
In this study, we isolated the BcCUC2 gene from Pak-choi (Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis), which contains a 1104 bp coding sequence, encoding 367 amino acid residues. Multiple sequence alignment exhibited that the BcCUC2 gene has a typical conserved NAC domain, and phylogenetic relationship analysis showed that the BcCUC2 protein has high identity with Cruciferae plants (Brassica oleracea, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Cardamine hirsuta). The tissue-specific expression analysis displayed that the BcCUC2 gene has relatively high transcript abundance in floral organs. Meanwhile, the expression profile of BcCUC2 was relatively high...

The content of polyphenols, lactic acid, and antioxidant properties in fermented juice increases more at 30 °C than at 35 °C during the lactic fermentation process in butanol extract and broccoli juice. The concentration of polyphenols is expressed by phenolic acid equivalents as gallic acid-Total Phenolic Content (TPC), ferulic acid (CFA), p-cumaric acid (CPA), sinapic acid (CSA), and caffeic acid (CCA). The polyphenols present in fermented juice exhibit antioxidant properties and the ability to reduce free radicals using total antioxidant capacity (TAC) assay, while also the percentage of...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 4266: Broccoli, Kale, and Radish Sprouts: Key Phytochemical Constituents and DPPH Free Radical Scavenging Activity
me Y. Yager
Our research group previously found that broccoli sprouts possess neuroprotective effects during pregnancy. The active compound has been identified as sulforaphane (SFA), obtained from glucosinolate and glucoraphanin, which are also present in other crucifers, including kale. Sulforaphene (SFE), obtained from glucoraphenin in radish, also has numerous biological benefits, some of which supersede those of sulforaphane. It is likely that other components, such as phenolics, contribute to the biological activity of cruciferous vegetables. Notwithstanding their beneficial phytochemicals, crucifers are known to ...

ATM and ATR, two central players of the DNA damage response, are involved in the induction of systemic acquired resistance by extracellular DNA, but not the plant wound response
ConclusionWe conclude that both ATM and ATR are required for the complete activation of the plant immune response to extracellular DNA whereas an as-yet unknown mechanism allows for the self/nonself-differential activation of the JA-dependent wound response. (Source: Frontiers in Immunology)
