AI Article Synopsis

  • Brassica crops contain health-promoting compounds called glucosinolates, which are being studied for their benefits.
  • This research utilized Visible-Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (Vis-NIRS) to analyze 641 types of Brassica juncea for different glucosinolate components and developed effective prediction models.
  • The combined Vis-NIRS model demonstrated high accuracy and reliability in predicting glucosinolate content, making it a valuable tool for screening and quality control in Brassica oilseed production.

Article Abstract

The globally cultivated Brassica crops contain high deliverable concentrations of health-promoting glucosinolates. Development of a Visible-Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (Vis-NIRS) calibration to profile different glucosinolate components from 641 diverse Brassica juncea chemotypes was attempted in this study. Principal component analysis of HPLC-determined glucosinolates established the distinctiveness of four B. juncea populations used. Subsequently, modified partial least square regression based population-specific and combined Vis-NIRS models were developed, wherein the combined model exhibited higher coefficient of determination (R; 0.81-0.97) for eight glucosinolates and higher ratio of prediction determination (RPD; 2.42-5.35) for seven glucosinolates in B. juncea populations. Furthermore, range error ratio (RER > 4) for twelve and RER > 10 for eight glucosinolates make the combined model acceptable for screening and quality control. The model also provided excellent prediction for aliphatic glucosinolates in four oilseed Brassica species. Overall, our work highlights the potential of Vis-NIR spectroscopy in estimating glucosinolate content in the economically important Brassica oilseeds.

Glucosinolates (GSLs) are important secondary metabolites abundantly distributed in Brassicaceae plants, whose degradation products benefit plant resistance but are regarded as disadvantageous factors for human health. Thus, reducing GSL content is an important goal in the breeding program in crops, such as . In this study, 1280 genes in the GSL pathway were identified from 14 land plant genomes, which are specifically distributed in Brassicaceae and are extensively expanded in .

Understanding the genomic basis of natural variation in plant pest resistance is an important goal in plant science, but it usually requires large and labor-intensive phenotyping experiments. Here, we explored the possibility that non-target reads from plant DNA sequencing can serve as phenotyping proxies for addressing such questions. We used data from a whole-genome and -epigenome sequencing study of 207 natural lines of field pennycress () that were grown in a common environment and spontaneously colonized by aphids, mildew, and other microbes.

Broccoli is rich in biologically active compounds, especially polyphenols and glucosinolates, known for their health benefits. Traditional extraction methods have limitations, leading to a shift towards using natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) to create high-quality extracts with enhanced biological activity. This study focuses on preparing broccoli extracts in NADES, enriched with polyphenols and glucosinolates, without additional purification steps.

Broccoli by-products, traditionally considered inedible, possess a comprehensive nutritional and functional profile. These by-products are abundant in glucosinolates, particularly glucoraphanin, and sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate renowned for its potent antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties. Broccoli leaves are a significant source of phenolic compounds, including kaempferol and quercetin, as well as pigments, vitamins, and essential minerals.
