The chemical diversity and distribution of glucosinolates and isothiocyanates among plants
TLDR
This review addresses the complex array of glucosinolates, the precursors of isothiocyanates, present in sixteen families of dicotyledonous angiosperms including a large number of edible species including Brassica vegetables.About:

Auxin: regulation, action, and interaction.
Andrew Woodward,Bonnie Bartel +1 more
TL;DR: Nearly six decades after the structural elucidation of IAA, many aspects of auxin metabolism, transport and signalling are well established; however, more than a few fundamental questions and innumerable details remain unresolved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biology and biochemistry of glucosinolates
TL;DR: Glucosinolates are sulfur-rich, anionic natural products that upon hydrolysis by endogenous thioglucosidases called myrosinases produce several different products that function as cancer-preventing agents, biopesticides, and flavor compounds.

Moringa oleifera: a food plant with multiple medicinal uses
TL;DR: Moringa oleifera Lam (Moringaceae) is a highly valued plant, distributed in many countries of the tropics and subtropics. as mentioned in this paper provides a rich and rare combination of zeatin, quercetin, beta-sitosterol, caffeoylquinic acid and kaempferol.

Molecular mechanisms of the Keap1–Nrf2 pathway in stress response and cancer evolution.
TL;DR: The Keap1–Nrf2 regulatory pathway plays a central role in the protection of cells against oxidative and xenobiotic damage and discovery and development of selective Nrf2 inhibitors should make a critical contribution to improved cancer therapy.
Moringa oleifera: A Review of the Medical Evidence for Its Nutritional, Therapeutic, and Prophylactic Properties. Part 1.
Jed W. Fahey,B Lewis +1 more
TL;DR: Critically evaluate the published scientific evidence on M. oleifera, highlight claims from the traditional and tribal medicinal lore and from non-peer reviewed sources that would benefit from further, rigorous scientific evaluation, and suggest directions for future clinical research that could be carried out by local investigators in developing regions.

Fruit, vegetables, and cancer prevention: A review of the epidemiological evidence
TL;DR: It would appear that major public health benefits could be achieved by substantially increasing consumption of fruit and vegetable consumption, and in particular in cancers of the esophagus, oral cavity, and larynx, for which 28 of 29 studies were significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetables, Fruit, and Cancer Prevention: A Review
TL;DR: The evidence for a protective effect of greater vegetable and fruit consumption is consistent for cancers of the stomach, esophagus, lung, oral cavity and pharynx, endometrium, pancreas, and colon, and the types of vegetables or fruit that most often appear to be protective against cancer are raw vegetables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucosinolates and their breakdown products in food and food plants
TL;DR: This review surveys the occurrence, analysis, and properties of glucosinolates and derived compounds in plants and products intended for humans and animal consumption and places particular emphasis on members of the Brassica family.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broccoli sprouts: An exceptionally rich source of inducers of enzymes that protect against chemical carcinogens
TL;DR: The authors showed that 3-day-old sprouts of certain crucifers including broccoli and cauliflower contain 10-100 times higher levels of glucoraphanin (the glucosinolate of sulforaphane) than do the corresponding mature plants.
