- * Findings showed that orange carrots had higher levels of carotenoids, free sugars, and phytosterols, while purple carrots were rich in ascorbic acid, total phenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and antioxidant activities.
- * The research concluded that root color and tissue significantly influenced the accumulation of these bioactive compounds, which could be beneficial for food processing and the pharmaceutical industry in targeting specific compounds.
Polarimetry is a powerful characterization technique that uses a wealth of information from electromagnetic waves, including polarization. Using the rich information provided by polarimetry, it is being actively studied in biomedical fields such as cancer and tumor diagnosis. Despite its importance and potential in agriculture, polarimetry for living plants has not been well studied.

- Chlorophyll fluorescence is a technique used to evaluate how plants respond to different environmental stresses, such as salt, drought, and temperature extremes.
- In a study with grafted watermelon seedlings, various salinity levels and temperatures were tested to observe their impact on plant physiological parameters over controlled conditions for up to 12 days.
- The findings indicated that stress levels significantly affected parameters like maximum quantum yield and non-photochemical quenching, with distinct responses observed for drought, high temperatures, and salinity, impacting growth and chlorophyll content.
Individual glucosinolates (GSLs) were assessed to select cabbage genotypes for a potential breeding program. One hundred forty-six cabbage genotypes from different origins were grown in an open field from March to June 2019; the cabbage heads were used for GSL analyses. Seven aliphatics [glucoiberin (GIB), progoitrin (PRO), epi-progoitrin (EPI), sinigrin (SIN), glucoraphanin (GRA), glucoerucin (GER) and gluconapin (GNA)], one aromatic [gluconasturtiin (GNS)] and four indolyl GSLs [glucobrassicin (GBS), 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin (4HGBS), 4-methoxyglucobrassicin (4MGBS), neoglucobrassicin (NGBS)] were found this study.
