Chemical Profile and Biological Activities of Brassica rapa and Brassica napus ...

This study aimed to analyse the chemical profile and biological activities of 29 accessions of Brassica rapa (turnips) and 9 of Brassica napus (turnips and seeds) collections, maintained ex situ in Portugal. HPLC-HRMS allowed the determination of glucosinolates (GLS) and polyphenolic compounds. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were determined by using relevant assays. The chemical profiles showed th...

Diversidade nutricional de acessos de tomate de mesa das regiões Centro e Norte...

O tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) é uma das culturas hortícolas mais importantes em todo o mundo e desempenha um papel fundamental na dieta mediterrânica. Ao longo dos anos, o cultivo de tomate em sistemas agrícolas extensivos, como hortas e quintais, levou ao surgimento de várias variedades tradicionais com características morfológicas e sensoriais distintas. Estas variedades representam um valioso reservatór...

Diversity assessment in the Portuguese genebank collection of tomato (Solanum l...

Tomato germplasm is source of variability used by plant breeders to develop improved cultivars and part of the natural heritage to be preserved. In this study, the diversity among twenty Portuguese tomato accessions was evaluated, considering morphological and agronomic descriptors, molecular data, and compositional aspects. The tomato accessions captured 77.5% of the total 19 alleles detected. Important inform...

Nutritional and chemical characteristics of Portuguese table tomato genotypes

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one the most important horticultural crops worldwide and a key component of the Mediterranean diet. Over the years, tomato selection and cultivation in small farming systems, such as homegardens, has resulted in the emergence of several varieties with distinct morphological and sensory characteristics. These varieties represent a valuable genetic diversity reservoir with bree...

Exploiting the nutritional and chemical diversity of Portuguese tomato (Solanum...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is the second most important vegetable crop worldwide and one of the most preferred garden crops. It is a versatile key component of the Mediterranean diet commonly associated with a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases due to its composition in bioactive molecules [1,2]. Throughout its evolutionary and domestication process, this species has undergone diverse genetic a...

Quality trait analysis of a portuguese collection of common bean (Phaseolus vul...

Lack of knowledge on crop adaptability and access to improved varieties, are generating difficulties to crop diversification and legume inclusion in value chains. To overcome these barriers, it is important to assess trait and molecular diversity for selection and production of high-quality seed. The main aim of this study was to analyze different quality traits of a Portuguese collection of common bean (Phaseo...
