Verbatim
e0“A low level of Se fertilization (concentration) with MeJA treatment displayed no significant changes in total aliphatic GS concentrations with 90% and 50% increases in indolyl and total GSs concentrations, respectively”
e1“Simultaneous enhancement of both Se and GS concentrations in broccoli floret tissue were conducted through the combined treatment of MeJA with Se fertilization”

Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect MeJA treatment increased glucosinolate accumulation in apical leaves of broccoli seedlings.
- Association Indolyl glucosinolate increases in broccoli apical leaves and florets are associated with up-regulation of indolyl GS biosynthesis genes.
- Intervention effect MeJA treatment increased phenolics, ascorbates and amino acids in broccoli tissues.
- Intervention effect MeJA treatment reduced hexose sugars and tricarboxylic acid intermediates in broccoli.
- Intervention effect The auxin efflux inhibitor NPA reduced MeJA-mediated accumulation of indolyl GSs in broccoli florets and seedling tissues.
- Observation Seven lignin biosynthesis genes and one putative flowering gene were isolated from Miscanthus x giganteus.
- Association Lignin content is higher in mature stem node tissues than in young leaves of Miscanthus x giganteus.
- Intervention effect Low-level selenium fertilization with MeJA caused no significant change in total aliphatic glucosinolate concentrations in broccoli.
- Intervention effect Low-level selenium fertilization with MeJA increased total glucosinolate concentration by 50% in broccoli.
- Recommendation The combined selenium and MeJA treatment can generate Se- and GS-enriched broccoli with improved health-promoting properties.
- Intervention effect Exogenous benzyl GS induced ectopic expression of the PIN1 protein in Arabidopsis roots, similar to NPA treatment.
