Glucosinolates are anti-carcinogenic, anti-oxidative biochemical compounds that defend plants from insect and microbial attack. Glucosinolates are abundant in all cruciferous crops, including all vegetable and oilseed Brassica species. Here, we studied the expression of glucosinolate biosynthesis genes and determined glucosinolate contents in the edible organs of a total of 12 genotypes of Bras...

The levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and nickel (Ni) in spinach (Spinacia oleracea), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) and in the rizosphere soils of the industrially polluted (Konabari, Gazipur; Keranigonj, Dhaka), and non-polluted (Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute-BARI, Gazipur) areas were studied. Four samples from each area were collected durin...

Microbiological control is very important in food industry to prevent foodborne diseases. Therefore, the present investigation was undertaken to assess the microbiological quality of fresh vegetables collected from several regions of Ropar, Punjab, India. A total of 36 vegetable samples were collected and examined for their microbial load. Contamination was mainly found in cauliflower, peas, ca...

Previous studies have indicated that the vacuole represents the major inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP,)-mobilizable Ca2+ pool in higher plants. This finding is in contrast to animal cells, in which the endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane constitute the dominant InsP,-sensitive membranes. We used membrane vesicles prepared from cauliflower (Brassica oleracae L.) inflorescences that were...

Brassica species are very rich in health-promoting phytochemicals, including phenolic compounds, vitamin C, and minerals. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different blanching (i.e., water and steam) and cooking (i.e., water boiling, steam boiling, microwaving, and stir-frying) methods on the nutrient components, phytochemical contents (i.e., polyphenols, carotenoids,...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of some plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) formation [Brassica oleracea (cauliflower), Spinacia (spinach) ,and Urtica urens (stinging nettle)] belonging Brassicaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Urticaceae families, which are known have a negative influence symbiotic life with AMF. Two PGPR isolates that c...

Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is one of the vegetable commodities with high economic value. production in Indonesia reached 204,328 tonnes 2020. This research was conducted from January to May 2022 3 sub-district Banuhampu district. study aimed identify morphological characters and growth diversity cauliflower The method used a survey purposive sampling consisting two stages act...

Objectives: This work aims to analyze the antibacterial and antifungal activities of cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower broccoli. Methods: Cruciferous act a good source natural antioxidants due their high levels carotenoids, tocopherols, ascorbic acid. In this study, two vegetables, broccoli, were selected for anti-fungal studies. The stems, flowers cauliflower, broccoli extracted with ...

A study was conducted to determine the effect of different levels boron on growth and yield parameters Snow Mystique variety cauliflower at farmer's field in Myanglung, Terhathum, Nepal during winter season 2019 AD. Five viz, control (0 kg/ha), 0.5 kg/ha, 1.0 1.5 2.1 kg/ha were applied that laid out Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. Data recorded regarding plant he...
