Summary: The uptake, translocation and residual distribution of novel pesticides BFI, ADP, and FPO in plants were investigated. The residues of BFI, ADP, and FPO in mustard dissipated quickly and more than 66.5% of FPO residues were distributed in the cell-soluble fractions. The foliar uptake rates of BFI, ADP, and FPO were low, but the root uptake rate was high. The study provides insight into the formation of pesticide residues in plants and offers guidance for the safe application and risk assessment of BFI, ADP, and FPO.

Summary: Mustard has diverse flavors and nutritional benefits, while its sprouts have a short cycle, high nutrition, and hygienic characteristics. This study investigated the differences in various compounds and activities in the sprouts of three mustard types. The results showed that root mustard sprouts are suitable for pickling and processing, stem mustard sprouts contribute to mustard-flavored condiments, and leaf mustard sprouts are widely used for fresh eating or making mild mustard condiments based on their glucosinolates content.

Summary: This study presents a chromosome-scale de novo assembly of a yellow-seeded Brassica juncea genome and population analyses of 480 accessions from 38 countries, shedding light on the origin, domestication history, and morphological diversification of B. juncea. The research supports the hypothesis that B. juncea most likely originated in West Asia 8,000-14,000 years ago via natural interspecific hybridization, and new crop types evolved through spontaneous gene mutations and introgressions along three independent routes of eastward expansion. Selective sweeps, genome-wide trait associations, and tissue-specific RNA-sequencing analysis provide insights into the domestication history of flowering time and seed weight, as well as human selection for morphological diversification in this versatile species.

Summary: This study aimed to demonstrate the ultimate antioxidant effects of protein extract from mustard seed in suppressing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The results showed that the mustard seed protein isolate (MPI) could completely suppress the production of H2O2 in orange juice, with slightly higher antioxidant efficacy than the reference protein thaumatin. The thiol-rich amino acid-containing proteins and other antioxidants in MPI were highly effective in inhibiting the autoxidation-mediated production of H2O2 in orange juice and could be useful for other manufactured beverages.

Summary: In this study, the inheritance pattern and gene effects of tocopherol content in Indian mustard oil were evaluated using generation mean analysis. The results showed that tocopherol content was not influenced by maternal inheritance and ATC, GTC, and TTC were governed by recessive genes. Furthermore, GTC and TTC showed over-dominance type of gene interaction, while ATC was governed by epistatic interactions.

Summary: This study demonstrates the important role of sucrase 1 (SUC1) in mitigating osmotic pressure in the insect gut and successfully develops transgenic Indian mustard plants expressing SUC1 hairpin RNA for host-mediated delivery into infesting aphids. The research also shows a significant reduction in aphid fecundity and detection of SUC1-specific siRNA molecules in aphids fed on transgenic plants, indicating the potential for engineering RNAi-based resistance against aphids in Brassica crops.

Summary: This study utilized the QuEChERS extraction method and UHPLC-MS/MS analysis to describe the phenolic composition of yellow, brown, and black mustard seeds for the first time. Twenty-one phenolic compounds were evaluated, with sinapic acid being the most abundant. These results contribute significantly to the characterization of phenolic composition in these mustard seeds and support future reliable determination of phenolic compounds using the QuEChERS method.

Summary: The phytochemical profile and bioactive fraction of yellow mustard and oriental mustard were studied. Various volatile compounds and phenolic compounds were identified, distinguishing the two mustard species. The bran fraction was found to be rich in bioactive compounds and could be used for the recovery of polyphenols.

Summary: The development of climate change resilient crops is important for supporting the growing world population. Polyploidy plays a key role in plant evolution, shaping biodiversity, growth vigor, environmental adaptation, and chemical compounds. Creating new allopolyploids through sexual and asexual reproduction methods have potential benefits but may also lead to undesirable traits. Recent advancements in genome editing offer a route to improve newly synthesized allopolyploids and meet agricultural demands.
