Suppression Effect of Brassica Campestris Pollen Extract on the Growth of Prostate Cancer Cell in vitro

Abstract: Objective:To study the effects of Brassica campestris pollen extract(BPE)on prostate cancer cell line in vitro.Methods:PC-3 and DU-145 cell line from prostate cancer were treated with various concentrations of BPE.Morphologic change was observed with light microscope and apoptosis change by electron microscope.The suppression rate of the growth of prostate cancer cell was evaluated by using CCK-8 assay.Changes in prostate cancer cell cycle were observed by FAC SCailibur.Result:The growth of prostate cancer cells were markedly inhibited after being treated with BPE.After the treatment,obvious morphological change was observed;FCM showed that the rate of G0/G1 phase was increased and that the rate of S and G2-M phase was decreased in the cell cycle.Conclusion:BPE may have remarkable effect on inhibiting the growth of PC-3 and DU-145 cell line from prostate cancer.

Research progress and strategies for multifunctional rapeseed： A case study of China

Abstract: Rapeseed(Brassicanapus),is an important source of edible oil,animal fodder,vegetables,condiments and biodiesel,and plays a significant role in securing edible oil production worldwideHowever,in countries with comparatively low levels of agricultural mechanization,such as China,increasing costs of labor and agricultural inputs are decreasing rapeseed profitability,and hence the area of rapeseed under cultivationIf the value of rapeseed crops is not further increased,the rapeseed growing area will continue to decrease,potentially jeopardizing oil productionTherefore,full exploitation of the existing and potential value of rapeseed is desirableDifferent rapeseed products are already utilized in different ways,with more applications currently underutilizedAs well as oil extraction from the seeds,the shoot and leaves can be used as vegetables,the roots to absorb soil cadmium for pollution remediation,the flowers for sightseeing and as a source of nectar,the pollen for extracting flavonoids and useful amino acids,the seeds/seed meal for extracting isthiocyanates and other important sulforaphane compounds,the straw and seed meal for fodder,and immature whole plants for green manureThis review summarizes recent research on ways to explore the potential holistic value of rapeseed,by taking the example of multifunctionality of rapeseed in China

Rapeseed (Brassica napus): Processing, Utilization, and Genetic Improvement

Abstract: Brassica napus L. is a vegetable oil crop, commonly known as rapeseed (or canola). It is widely used as a source of oil and protein for food and industrial applications, but also as a remedy, and in a field of attraction or as an ornament due to its diverse flower colors. Every part of rapeseed is useful, even the waste, which could be used to feed animals, or recycled. In this review, the use of rapeseed in these applications is presented, starting with the preparation of oil and protein from the seeds, before their release in the market, to the utilization of natural unprocessed rapeseed. Progress in rapeseed exploitation for food, remedy, energy source, and industrial applications are analyzed to show variability in diverse findings, to provide insights and progressive descriptions of rapeseed usage to other scholars. Moreover, advancements in breeding for rapeseed improvement were described. In the future, strategies could be developed or improved to avoid or decrease crop losses, but also to increase interest in propagating the valuable traits of rapeseed.
