“…In A. thaliana, drought stress and water-logging led to increased aliphatic glucosinolate and flavonoid levels (Mewis et al 2012). Similarly, the increased glucosinolate content was observed in rape leaf tissue (Brassica napus) subjected to water deficit occurring during vegetative growth (Jensen et al 1996).…”

Plant responses to abiotic stresses are very complex phenomena with individual characteristics for various species. Abiotic stresses (e.g. drought, salinity, flooding, cold, heat, UV radiation, heavy metals, etc.) strongly affect plant growth and development. It is estimated that they are the cause of more than 50 % of crop yield losses. Abiotic stresses are known to activate a multigene response resulting in the changes in various proteins and primary and secondary metabolite accumulation. Therefore, proteomic and metabolomic approaches are becoming very important and powerful tools used in studying plants' reaction to various stimuli. Precise analysis of proteome and metabolome is essential for understanding the fundamentals of stress physiology and biochemistry. In this review, we focus on recent reports concerned to the influence of abiotic stresses on changes in the level of different protein groups and metabolite classes. Basic information about physicochemical methods applied to qualitative and quantitative analyses of biopolymers and natural products is also briefly presented.

“…In relation to water stress caused by drought, some studies have shown an increase of glucosinolate production in several Brassica species such as B. napus L. (Champolivier and Merrien 1996;Jensen et al 1996) and B. oleracea L. (Radovich et al 2005). Although there are contradictory results in the literature, some authors suggested that glucosinolates may act triggering defense responses against drought stress.…”

Main conclusion Glucosinolates are biologically active compounds which are involved in plant defense reaction. The use of plant in vitro cultures and genetic engineering is a promising strategy for their sustainable production.Glucosinolates are a class of secondary metabolites found mainly in Brassicaceae, which contain nitrogen and sulfur in their structures. Glucosinolates are divided into three groups depending on the amino acid from which they are biosynthesized. Aliphatic glucosinolates are generally derived from leucine, valine, methionine, isoleucine and alanine while indole and aromatic glucosinolates are derived from tryptophan and phenylalanine or tyrosine, respectively. These compounds are hydrolyzed by the enzyme myrosinase when plants are stressed by biotic and abiotic factors, obtaining different degradation products. Glucosinolates and their hydrolysis products play an important role in plant defense responses against different types of stresses. In addition, these compounds have beneficial effect on human health because they are strong antioxidants and they have potent cardiovascular, antidiabetic, antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. Due to all the properties described above, the demand for glucosinolates and their hydrolysis products has enormously increased, and therefore, new strategies that allow the production of these compounds to be improved are needed. The use of plant in vitro cultures is emerging as a biotechnological strategy to obtain glucosinolates and their derivatives. This work is focused on the biosynthesis of glucosinolates and the bioactivity of these compounds in plants. In addition, a detailed study on the strategies used to increase the production of several glucosinolates, in particular those synthesized in Brassicaceae, using in vitro plant cultures has been made. Special attention has been paid for increasing the production of glucosinolates and their derivatives using metabolic engineering.

“…Rapeseed oil is an excellent feedstock for biodiesel production (Hodur et al, 2012). Jensen et al (1996) identified content of lipids in the Brassica napus seeds in range from 39.9 to 46.5% (Jensen et al, 1996). Two our samples of Brassica napus showed lipid concentration 27.69-37.61%.…”

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate a potential of energetic value of seeds of oil plants collected in the M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the NAS of Ukraine. In the present study lipid and caloric content of cultivars and varieties of Brassica campestris D.C., Brassica junceae (L.) Czern., Brassica napus D.C., Brassica rapa subsp. rapifera Metzger, Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz and Sinapis alba L. are described. Studing of seeds of 19 samples of investigated plants was carried out by method of extraction with petroleum ether equipped with Soxhlet extractor. Content of lipids was determined in range from 17.72% (Brassica campestris f. annua D.C., cv. Pioner) to 37.61% (Brassica napus f. annua D.C., cv.s. Yamal). Comparing of Brassica campestris plants showed that winter varieties had higher level of lipids in seeds and was in range from 28.35 to 34.48%. In the spring varieties the same parameter was in range from 17.72 to 29.00%. Identification of energetic value was made by method of combustion in the oxygen and was determined in range from 5,039.33 Kcal/kg (Brassica campestris f. annua) to 6,108.00 Kcal/kg (Brassica napus f. annua D.C., cv.s. Yamal). Content of calories in the seeds of winter varieties of Brassica campestris was from 5,530.40 to 6,045.67 Kcal/kg and in spring varieties -from 5,381.33 to 5,659.11 Kcal/kg.
