Journal ArticleDOI
Phenolic compounds in Brassica vegetables.
TL;DR: The significance of phenolic compounds as a source of beneficial compounds for human health and the influence of environmental conditions and processing mechanisms on the phenolic composition of Brassica vegetables are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous identification of glucosinolates and phenolic compounds in a representative collection of vegetable Brassica rapa
Marta Francisco,Diego A. Moreno,María Elena Cartea,Federico Ferreres,Cristina García-Viguera,Pablo Velasco +5 more
TL;DR: For first time in Brassica crops, intact glucosinolates and phenolic compounds were simultaneously identified and characterized and showed significant differences for most of compounds between plant organs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooking methods of Brassica rapa affect the preservation of glucosinolates, phenolics and vitamin C
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of cooking on health-promoting bioactive compounds (GLS, flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids, and vitamin C) of turnip greens and turnip tops was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana defense metabolism genes modulates field fitness
Rachel E. Kerwin,Julie Feusier,Julie Feusier,Jason A. Corwin,Matthew J. Rubin,Catherine Lin,Alise Muok,Alise Muok,Brandon Larson,Brandon Larson,Brandon Larson,Baohua Li,Bindu Joseph,Marta Francisco,Marta Francisco,Daniel Copeland,Cynthia Weinig,Daniel J. Kliebenstein,Daniel J. Kliebenstein +18 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, variation in these naturally polymorphic GSL genes affected fitness in each of the authors' environments but the pattern fluctuated such that highly fit genotypes in one trial displayed lower fitness in another and that no GSL genotype or genotypes consistently out-performed the others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytochemical fingerprinting of vegetable Brassica oleracea and Brassica napus by simultaneous identification of glucosinolates and phenolics.
Pablo Velasco,Marta Francisco,Diego A. Moreno,Federico Ferreres,Cristina García-Viguera,María Elena Cartea +5 more
TL;DR: This study has provided a deeper and comprehensive identification of health-promoting compounds in kale, cabbage and leaf rape, thus showing that they are a good source of glucosinolates and phenolic antioxidants.
