In previous studies it was shown that the concentration of total and individual glucosinolates in brassicaceous plants can vary signiÐcantly over a 24-h period grown either in the Ðeld or under controlled conditions. The present study shows total and individual glucosinolate variation during a single day. Seedlings of cabbage grown under controlled conditions and at 14 and 15 days after emergen...

Introduction Intake of broccoli sprouts, a rich source of the glucosinolate glucoraphanin, has been associated with decreased incidence, multiplicity, and tumor growth in animal cancer models.1-3 In 1992, Paul Talalay, MD, and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University identified the isothiocyanate, sulforaphane, a biologically active metabolite of glucoraphanin, as the compound in broccoli respons...

this study examines the assumption that plant resistance to herbivory has fitness costs. to assess costs, i used the standard method of determining whether there is a significant negative genetic correlation between the resistance character and damage in the presence of herbivory and with fitness in the absence of herbivory. seeds of five plants from four genotypes of arabidopsis thaliana were ...

Fresh-cut broccoli is a highly demanded product due to its convenience and high content of bioactive compounds. Unfortunately, this shows rapid senescence anoxia generation problems, especially when storage temperature varies. Therefore, perforation-mediated modified atmosphere packaging (PM-MAP) florets, in different scenarios, was studied. Polypropylene films with levels laser perforation wer...
