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...

Ecotoxicity study of reduced-Cr(III) generated by Cr(VI) biosorption
In this study, the harmfulness of reduced-Cr(III) was identified through assessment of mobility and toxicity in nature. Pine bark, a low-cost biomass, was used to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. Reduced-Cr(III) was characterized by structural features using X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) spectra, mobility assessed using precipitation, adsorption and soil column test, and toxicity using radish sprouts and water flea. XANES analysis confirmed that reduced-Cr(III) has an unsymmetrical structure, and the reduced-Cr(III) showed low mobility and was virtually non-toxic, and helpful for plant growth. Our findin...

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 ...

Non-vernalization requirement for flowering in Brassica rapa conferred by a dominant allele of FLOWERING LOCUS T
Theor Appl Genet. 2023 May 18;136(6):132. doi: 10.1007/s00122-023-04378-y.ABSTRACTWe identified and characterized a dominant FT allele for flowering without vernalization in Brassica rapa, while demonstrating its potential for deployment in breeding to accelerate flowering in various Brassicaceae crops. Controlling the timing of flowering is key to improving yield and quality of several agricultural crops including the Brassicas. Many Brassicaceae crops possess a conserved flowering mechanism in which FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) represses the transcription of flowering activators such as FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) during vernaliza...
