Bioactive Glucosinolate-Rich Extract Promotes Growth in Broccoli Seedlings by Modulating Energy Allocation.

ABSTRACT: Bioactive extracts derived from plants are emerging as the most innovative and promising alternative to traditional stimulants/chemicals in the agricultural market, given their high availability and rich content of bioactive compounds. Previously, the group synthesized and characterized a Brassicacea extract rich in secondary metabolites such as glucosinolates and phenols, which demonstrated a biostimulant effect in broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) seedlings. Consequently, the main objective of this study was to investigate in detail the molecular mechanisms responsible for the stimulant capacity exhibited by the Brassicacea extract. For this aim, RNA sequencing was carried out to analyze gene expression in broccoli seedlings grown with the extract for 2 weeks, in combination w
