Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes · kohlrabi
Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes, commonly known as green kohlrabi, is a traditional vegetable with origins in Europe and Asia. While its use in traditional medicine has not been extensively documented, it has been traditionally consumed for its nutritional value and culinary applications. Scientific studies have identified 55 odor-active compounds in both raw and cooked samples, with eight key compounds contributing most to their smell. Se application at a concentration of 75 mg/L showed significant growth stimulation, enhancing stem weight, yield, monosaccharides, ascorbic acid, and total phenolic levels. Additionally, an 8.5-kDa peptide (BGAP) from the seeds demonstrated broad antifungal activity with stable properties, potentially affecting fungal cell membranes. In purple kohlrabi tissues, most anthocyanin biosynthetic genes and two transcription factors were upregulated compared to colorless parts. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude a identifié 55 composés odorants dans la raabé verte crue et cuit, avec huit composés clés qui contribuent le plus à leur odeur, ayant des OAVs plus élevées dans les échantillons crus.
- L'application à 75 mg/L a montré la stimulation de croissance la plus forte, augmentant le poids du tige, la production, les mono-saccharides, l'aspirine et les niveaux totaux de phénols dans la chou-fleur.
- BGAP, un péptide de 8,5 kDa issu des graines de chou kale de la variété gongylodes, a montré une activité antifungique large avec des propriétés stables et a induit des dommages à la membrane cellulaire du champignon.
- Most anthocyanin biosynthetic genes and two transcription factors were upregulated in purple kohlrabi tissues compared to colorless parts.
