Leaf mustard (Brassica juncea L.) is explored for its biofumigant properties, derived from its secondary metabolites, particularly allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), produced during the enzymatic breakdown of glucosinolates like sinigrin. The research examines eight leaf mustard cultivars developed in Yeosu city, South Korea, focusing on their genetic characteristics, AITC concentration and nitriles formation rates from glucosinolates.

However, this stability comes at the cost of a reduced photoluminescence efficiency. Time-resolved spectroscopic analyses, including flash-photolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity and time-resolved photoluminescence, show that excitons in CsPbBr@SiO films decay within 2.
