Abstract:
... Vegetable crops of Brassica oleracea contain significant amounts of antioxidant compounds, such as glucosinolates (GLS) which, upon disruption of the tissue, are broken down by the endogenous enzyme myrosinase (MYR), resulting in production of isothiocyanates, thiocyanates, nitriles, goitrin and epithionitriles. In particular, isothiocyanates are known to exert beneficial effects for human health. ...

Abstract:
... Global warming is currently enabling the expansion of winter oilseed rape cultivation to previously unsuitable regions. Nevertheless, extreme frost events may lead in some years to severe winter damage. On the other hand, early flowering winter oilseed rape cultivars are wanted because of increasingly warm temperatures in spring. An assumed correlation between winter hardiness and vernalization re ...

Abstract:
... In the hermaphroditic plants, floral morphological traits can significantly affect reproductive system by favouring the deposit of self or cross pollen. In the Brassica species, the self-incompatibility mechanism is undoubtedly the main cause of their allogamy; however, floral organs variation can modulate or reinforce the cross pollination level of the plants. In this study, we investigated flora ...
