Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 8227: Chemical Composition, Phytotoxic and Antibiofilm Activity of Seven Eucalyptus Species from Tunisia
This study was carried out to characterize the chemical composition of the essential oils from seven Eucalyptus species (E. griffithsii, E. hemiphloia, E. lesouefii, E. longicornis, E. pyriformis, E. viminalis, and E. wandoo), as well as their phytotoxic and antibacterial activities. The essential oils were analyzed by GC/MS and the potential in vitro phytotoxicity was evaluated against germination and radical elongation of Raphanus sativus, Lolium multiflorum, and Sinapis arvensis seeds. The antibiofilm activity was studied against both Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 8125: Enhancing Bioactive Saponin Content of Raphanus sativus Extract by Thermal Processing at Various Conditions
Chang-Wei Hsieh
Pickled radish (Raphanus sativus) is a traditional Asian ingredient, but the traditional method takes decades to make this product. To optimize such a process, this study compared the saponin content of pickled radishes with different thermal processing and traditional processes (production time of 7 days, 10 years, and 20 years) and evaluated the effects of different thermal processes on the formation of radish saponin through kinetics study and mass spectrometry. The results showed that increasing the pickling time enhanced the formation of saponin in commercial pickled radishes (25 °C, ...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 14919: Isothiocyanate-Rich Extracts from Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea Var. Botrytis) and Radish (Raphanus sativus) Inhibited Metabolic Activity and Induced ROS in Selected Human HCT116 and HT-29 Colorectal Cancer Cells
lderón
Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower and radish contain isothiocyanates exhibiting chemoprotective effects in vitro and in vivo. This research aimed to assess the impact of cauliflower (CIE) and radish (RIE) isothiocyanate extracts on the metabolic activity, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and LDH production of selected human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (HCT116 and HT-29 for early and late colon cancer development, respectively). Non-cancerous colon cells (CCD-33Co) were used as a cytotoxicity control. The CIE samples displayed the highest allyl isothiocyanate (AITC: 12.55 µ...

Int J Biol Macromol. 2022 Oct 15:S0141-8130(22)02335-2. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.10.121. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBio-based controlled release fertilizers (BCRFs) are cost-effective and renewable thus gradually replacing petroleum-based controlled release fertilizers (CRFs). However, most of the study mainly focused on modifying BCRFs to improve controlled-release performance. It is necessary to further increase the functionality of BCRF for expanding the application. A multifunctional double layered bio-based CRF (DCRF) was prepared. Urea was used as the core of fertilizer, bio-based polyurethane was used as the ...

Phenolic compounds and bioactive extract produced by endophytic fungus < em > Coriolopsis rigida < /em >
Nat Prod Res. 2022 Aug 23:1-6. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2022.2115492. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCoriolopsis rigida was isolated as an endophytic fungus from the medicinal plant Cochlospermum regium, and their production of secondary metabolites has not yet been investigated. Thus, the endophyte was cultivated on rice solid media to evaluate its ability to produce bioactive compounds and then the chloroform extract was obtained. Two phenolic compounds, tyrosol (1) and a new natural product p-hydroxyphenylacetamide (2), were isolated from the extract. The structures of the compounds were elucidated mainly by NMR. The extrac...

Intercropping affects the physiology and cadmium absorption of pakchoi, lettuce, and radish seedlings
This study investigated the physiology and cadmium (Cd) content of pakchoi (Brassica chinensis L.), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. ramosa Hort.), and radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings under monoculture, mutual intercropping of two or three varieties. Intercropping is not conducive to the accumulation of chlorophyll and biomass content of pakchoi, lettuce, and radish. When three seedlings were intercropped together, the antioxidant enzyme activity of pakchoi, lettuce, and radish increased and the content of malondialdehyde decreased, except that the superoxide dismutase activity of radish is inferior to the value of r...

Bacterial Communities in the Endophyte and Rhizosphere of White Radish (Raphanus sativus) in Different Compartments and Growth Conditions
In this study, high-throughput sequencing (Illumina-MiSeq) technology was employed to analyse the diversity and community composition of white radish (Raphanus sativus) endophytes and rhizosphere bacteria in different compartments and cultivation conditions, including greenhouse and open field cultivation, at both the phylum and genus levels. Alpha diversity index analysis showed that the bacterial richness and diversity values of rhizosphere bacteria were higher than those of endophytes in different compartments. NMDS analysis and microbial co-occurrence network analysis showed that apart from the similarity in the endoph...
