Phenol red (PR) is the standard pH indicator in various cell and tissue culture media, as it provides a quick check for the health of the culture. PR has also been used in multiple protocols to detect cellular hydrogen peroxide

Glucosinolates are β-thioglycosides which are found naturally in Cruciferae including the genus Brassica. When enzymatically hydrolysed, glucosinolates yield isothiocyanates and give a pungent taste. Both glucosinolates and isothiocyanates have been linked with anticancer activity as well as antifungal and antibacterial

Fruit extracts of Dithyrea wislizenii were analyzed for desulfoglucosinolates and intact glucosinolates using HPLC-APCI-MS and HPLC-ESI-MS, respectively. 2-Propenylglucosinolate (sinigrin) was shown to be present in the extracts. 6-Methylsulfanylhexyl- (glucolesquerellin 9), 6-methylsulfinylhexyl- (glucohesperin 10), 7-methylsulfanylheptyl- (11), and 5-methylsulfanylpentylglucosinolate (glucoberteroin 12) were
Rapid post-introduction evolution has been found in many invasive plant species, and includes changes in defence (resistance and tolerance) and competitive ability traits. Here, we explored the post-introduction evolution of a trade-off between resistance to and tolerance of herbivory, which

Brassica nigra plants, characterized by high levels of sinigrin, and artificial aphid diets to which sinigrin was selectively added were used to rear the crucifer specialist, Brevicoryne brassicae. Aphids were provided as a food source to two species of polyphagous
