Two previously undescribed flavonoid thioglucosides lepidiumflavonosides A and B () and two known megastigmane compounds (7,9)-9-hydroxy-5,7-megastigmadien-4-one 9-O--D-glucopyranoside () and (9)-4-oxo--inol -D-glucopyranoside () were isolated from the water extract of the seeds of Willd. The structural elucidation of isolated compounds was unambiguously determined based on extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses. All compounds were evaluated for their estrogen-like effects on MCF-7 cells in . The results showed that compounds significantly promoted the proliferation of MCF-7 cells, and the proliferation was antagonized by the specific ER antagonist ICI182,780, suggesting that compounds might have the estrogen-like effect in potentially.

The aim of this study was to compare the concentration of phenolic compounds, glucosinolates, proteins, sugars and vitamin C between kohlrabi ( var. ), Savoy cabbage (), Brussels sprouts (), cauliflower (), radish () and garden cress () microgreens for their antioxidant and hypoglycemic potential. In addition, we applied an in vitro-simulated system of human digestion in order to track the bioaccessibility of the selected phenolic representatives, and the stability of the microgreens' antioxidant and hypoglycemic potential in terms of α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition after each digestion phase.

Burdock fructooligosaccharide (BFO) is fructose with a low polymerization degree, which could improve the immunity to pathogens, quality, and stress resistance of vegetables. Still, there are no studies on applying BFO in Chinese cabbage. In this study, the effects of exogenous BFO sprayed with different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 30 g·L) on the growth and soluble sugar content of Chinese cabbage seedlings were determined.

These experiments were on single-species nematode infections, but roots can be infected naturally with several nematode species simultaneously.

Microgreens, also called superfoods, emerge because of their high levels of nutrients, diverse flavour profiles, and sustainable cultivation methods, which make them culinary delights and valuable to a healthy and flavorful diet. The present study investigated Brassicaceae family microgreens, proposing a novel system (quality indices) that allows scoring among them. Fourteen Brassica microgreen species were morphological, phytochemical, and sensorial investigated.
