Cysteine synthase [O-Acetyl-L-serine acetate-lyase (adding hydrogen-sulfide) EC 4.2.99.8] has been highly purified from the extract of rape, Brassica chinensis var. Komatsuna. The purified preparation appeared to be homogeneous on Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel
Four flavonol glycosides were isolated from a leaf extract of cabbage and characterized by chemical and spectroscopic methods including 1H and 13C NMR and negative ion FAB-MS. The common structure of the four compounds was kaempferol 3-O-beta-D-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->2)glucopyranoside]-7-
We have found spermidine synthase and spermine synthase activities in extracts of leaves of Chinese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis var. Pak Choy) and have developed an assay of the former in crude extracts. The method is based on the transfer of the propylamine moiety of decarboxylated
Seven flavonol glycosides were isolated from a leaf extract of cabbage and characterized by chemical and spectroscopic methods including 1H and 13C NMR and negative ion FAB-MS. Five compounds were new natural products or were fully characterized for the first time. They are derivatives of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate nutrient composition in moringa leaves and compare with those of kale (Brassica carinata) and Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris).
METHODS
Laboratory based study, nutrient composition of fresh and cooked leaves of M. stenopetala were analyzed.
METHODS
Gama-Gofa, south-western
Total and individual glucosinolate (GSL) content of leaves of vegetable turnip rape (Brassica rapa L. var. rapa) was determined in a set of 45 varieties consisting in early, medium and late types grown at two locations in northwestern Spain. The objectives were to determine the diversity among
A previously reported accumulation of proline in wilted turnip leaves has been observed in 6 additional species representing 5 different families. The results of experiments on the conditions affecting the behavior of proline in wilted leaves were interpreted to mean that the supply and metabolism
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid mediator involved in various physiological responses, including wound healing. Evidence of the antiulcer activity of LPA has been reported, and soybean LPA at a concentration of 10 μM is effective in reducing stress-induced gastric ulcer. Because LPA can be
The chemical nature of a principal, inducible cadmium-binding complex which accumulates in cabbage leaves (Wagner and Trotter 1982 Plant Physiol 69: 804-809) was studied and compared with that of animal metallothionein and copper-binding proteins isolated from various organisms. The apparent
Mustard (Brassica juncea) leaves are commonly consumed in different Asian and African countries. Cancer is a major burden of disease worldwide, and the colorectal and lung cancers are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among cancers. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the
The Brassica has been intensively studied due to the nutritional and beneficial effects. However, many species, varieties, and cultivars of this genus and the resulting large metabolic variation have been obstacles for systematic research of the plant. In order to overcome the problems posed by the
Thirty-nine plant species representing 20 families from the four major divisions of plants were surveyed for the presence of proteinase inhibitor-inducing factor activity in leaves or other tissues. Tissue juices were assayed for their capacity to induce accumulation of proteinase inhibitor I in
Egg parasitoids are able to find their hosts by exploiting their chemical footprints as host location cues. In nature, the apolar epicuticular wax layer of plants that consists of several classes of hydrocarbons serves as the substrate that retains these contact kairomones. However, experiments on
