Importance of Daily Rhythms on Brassicaceae Phytochemicals

The circadian clock serves to coordinate metabolism and physiology with the diurnal cycles derived from daily rotation of earth. In Brassicaceae, rhythms contribute temporal variation in diverse phytochemicals and, hence, both resistance biotic stress edible crop health value. Understanding specialized metabolites present Brassica crops can improve selection future breeding strategies. this review, we focus on importance phytochemical biochemistry main bioactive compounds Brassicaceae plants. We provide a general overview mechanisms that drive levels then specific examples show variation. Finally, discuss how these rhythmic patterns plant may impact protection against stress, content nutraceuticals, longevity post-harvest crops.
