Due to its biennual life cycle Brassica oleracea is especially exposed seasonal changes in temperature that could limit growth and fitness. Thermal stress plant growth, leaf development photosynthesis. We evaluated the performance of two local populations B. oleracea: one population cabbage (B. capitata group) kale acephala under limiting low high temperatures. There were differences between crops how they responded stress. Low temperatures affect photosynthesis fresh weight. Stomatal...
ABSTRACT Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary metabolites found in Brassica vegetables that confer on them resistance against pests and diseases. Both GSLs glucosinolate hydrolysis products (GHPs) have shown positive effects reducing soil pathogens. Information about their vitro biocide is scarce, but previous studies sinigrin associated allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) to be biocides. The objective of this work was evaluate the 17 GHPs leaf methanolic extracts different GSL-enriched crops...
Brassica oleracea crops are exposed to seasonal changes in temperature because of their biennial life cycle. Extreme temperatures (cold and heat) affect the photosynthetic activity yield cabbage (B. capitata group) kale acephala group). We studied relationship among antioxidant defenses, photosynthesis, under extreme both crops. Under these conditions, plants increase responding an increment reactive oxygen species (ROS). The accumulation ROS chloroplasts decreases chlorophyll content...
The glucosinolate profile of leaves and seeds 33 Brassica napus L. crops, including leafy forage, rutabaga, oilseed was compared by high-performance liquid chromatography to investigate the relation between consumable product each crop profile. Glucosinolate concentration higher in than leaves, varying from 3.8-fold crops 7.1-fold root vegetable crops. Aliphatic glucosinolates predominated both organs. In seeds, aliphatic represented 91% 94% different groups, whereas there more variation....
Glucosinolates are major secondary metabolites found in the Brassicaceae family. These compounds play an essential role plant defense against biotic and abiotic stresses, but more interestingly they have beneficial effects on human health. We performed a genetic analysis order to identify genome regions regulating glucosinolates biosynthesis DH mapping population of Brassica oleracea. In obtain general overview regulation whole plant, analyses were three organs where synthesized (leaves,...
Abstract Brassica oleracea var. acephala (kale) is a cruciferous vegetable widely cultivated for its leaves and flower buds in Atlantic Europe the Mediterranean area, being food of great interest as "superfood" today. Little has been studied about diversity endophytic fungi genus, there are no studies regarding kale. In this study, we made survey present roots six different Galician kale local populations. addition, investigated whether presence endophytes was beneficial to plants terms...
Brassica crops include important vegetables known as "superfoods" due to the content of phytochemicals great interest human health, such glucosinolates (GSLs) and antioxidant compounds. On other hand, Trichoderma is a genus filamentous fungi that includes several species described biostimulants and/or biological control agents in agriculture. In previous work, an endophytic strain hamatum was isolated from kale roots (Brassica oleracea var. acephala), describing its ability induce systemic...
Common practices such as the use of herbicides, petrochemical plastics and excessive tillage are widely used for weed control in both horticultural fruit crops. The these unfriendly environmentally techniques has led researchers around world to focus their searches on more sustainable alternatives based a circular economy model. These eco-friendly could also be extended other systems crops, which would case seedbeds or nursery plants. In this framework, biopolymers papers can have proper...
Brassica rapa is a crucifer that grown worldwide, mainly as vegetable. The quality of B. crops highly affected by the disease caused bacteria Xanthomonas campestris pv. (Xcc). Glucosinolates and phenolic compounds can confer resistance to against pests diseases, but few works have been done evaluate their role in Xcc resistance. objectives this work were: (1) vivo vitro antibacterial effect gluconapin, its isothiocyanate methanolic extracts type 4 Xcc, (2) test if there induced mediated...
The aim of this study is to investigate the impacts exogenous salicylic acid (SA) pretreatments on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation, protein oxidation, and H2O2-scavenging enzymes in leaves Cd-treated flax seedlings. Cd-enhanced H2O2 levels were related increased activities guaiacol peroxidase (POX, EC 1.11.1.7) ascorbate (APX, 1.11.1.11), independent changes catalase (CAT, 1.11.1.6) superoxide dismutase (SOD, 1.15.1.1) activities. In control seedlings, SA inhibited activity CAT,...
Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary metabolites present in Brassicaceae species implicated their defense against plant pathogens. When a pathogen causes tissue damage, the enzyme myrosinase hydrolyzes GSLs into diverse products that exhibit antimicrobial activity wide range of bacteria and fungi vitro. It was demonstrated modulation GSL content vivo affects resistance to infection by pathogens Arabidopsis. However, roles specific how they interact with poorly understood Brassica crops. We...
It is well-known that a variety of factors (genetic and environmental) affect the ultimate metabolite levels in brassica vegetables, although there still little information about role genetics environment play on glucosinolates phenolic levels. Total were more abundant turnip tops (26.02 μmol g−1 dw) than greens (17.78 dw). On other hand, total content was found higher quantities (43.81 (37.53 Aliphatic clearly regulated by genotype; contrast, effects genotype × interaction indolic...
Most maize ( Zea mays L.) hybrids cultivated in Europe follow the heterotic pattern European flint × Corn Belt dent. However, at present, no commercial have been obtained from inbreds exclusively. A could be an alternative to use breeding programs obtain early maturity, high‐yielding hybrids, potentially useful for producing high quality flours. The objective of this work was search patterns within germplasm adapted temperate conditions. Ten open‐pollinated cultivars were crossed a diallel...
