Abstract:
Watercress releases phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) upon wounding as a defence against herbivores. PEITC levels released from watercress farms are elevated due to cropping, washing, and processing and are thought to lead to adverse effects onGammarus pulexin chalk streams. This study elucidates the sublethal effect of PEITC on reproductive behaviour ofG. pulex, employingex situtests to investigate the disruption of precopular pairing under conditions simulatingin situexposure. Mean time to separation of precopular pairs was 89 ± 6 minutes for watercress wash water (1 g watercress per litre water) and 81 ± 15 minutes for pure PEITC (1 μL/L). Re-exposure to watercress wash water to simulate the pulsed operation at a watercress farm did not alter behavioural response. The repeated interruption of reproductive behaviour underin situconditions would impair long-term reproductive success and could explain in part low abundance ofG. pulexdownstream of watercress farms.

Abstract:
A well-developed root system is crucial for the rapid growth, asexual reproduction, and adaptation to the drought environments of the watercress. After analyzing the transcriptome of the watercress root system, we found that a high concentration of auxin is key to its adaptation to dry conditions. For the first time, we obtained DR5::EGFP watercress, which revealed the dynamic distribution of auxin in watercress root development under drought conditions. Via the application of naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA), 4-biphenylboronic acid (BBO), ethylene (ETH), abscisic acid (ABA), and other factors, we confirmed that auxin has a significant impact on the root development of watercress. Finally, we verified the role of auxin in root development using 35S::NoYUC8 watercress and showed that the synthesis of auxin in the root system mainly depends on the tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine amino acids (TAA) synthesis pathway. After the level of auxin increases, the root system of the watercress develops toward adaptation to dry environments. The formation of root aerenchyma disrupts the concentration gradient of auxin and is a key factor in the differentiation of lateral root primordia and H cells in watercress.

Abstract:
Based on the established efficient regeneration system for watercress in our laboratory, we optimized the processes of pretreatment, co-culture, and differentiation culture. Through GFP fluorescence and PCR identification, we successfully obtained transgenic watercress with the DR5 gene, which allowed us to investigate the distribution details of auxin in the growth process of watercress. Our findings provide an effective method for gene function research and lay the foundation for innovative utilization of germplasm resources of watercress.

Abstract:
Watercress is an enriched source of phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), among other phytochemicals, with an antioxidant capacity. The aim of this study was to (i) chemically characterize and (ii) biologically evaluate the profile of the main health-promoting compounds contained in edible (i.e., mixture of leaves and lateral buds) and non-edible (i.e., stems) parts of watercress in an in vitro model of malignant melanoma consisting of human malignant melanoma (A375), non-melanoma (A431) and keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells. The extraction of the main constituents of watercress was performed by subjecting the freeze-dried edible and non-edible samples through different extraction protocols, whereas their concentration was obtained utilizing analytical methodologies. In addition, cell viability was evaluated by the Alamar Blue assay, whereas levels of oxidative stress and apoptosis were determined by commercially available kits. The edible watercress sample contained a higher amount of various nutrients and phytochemicals in the hexane fraction compared to the non-edible one, as evidenced by the presence of PEITC, phenolics, flavonoids, pigments, ascorbic acid, etc. The cytotoxicity potential of the edible watercress sample in the hexane fraction was considerably higher than the non-edible one in A375 cells, whereas A431 and HaCaT cells appeared to be either more resistant or minimally affected, respectively. Finally, levels of oxidative stress and apoptotic induction were increased in both watercress samples, but the magnitude of the induction was much higher in the edible than the non-edible watercress samples. Herein, we provide further evidence documenting the potential development of watercress extracts (including watercress waste by-products) as promising anti-cancer agent(s) against malignant melanoma cells.

Abstract:
Despite the significant nutritional and health values, watercress (Nasturtium officinale L.) is still insufficiently known and explored leafy vegetables. Being a native crop of Central Asia ensure possibility of watercress to grow under Bangladesh climate.An experiment was conducted during October 2015 with the aim to evaluate the morphological traits, morphological traits, phytochemical compositions and antioxidant properties of the leaves of watercress. The experiment was designed with Completely RandomizedDesign (CRD) with three replications. The results showed, average watercress shoot biomass was 38.60 ± 3.41 g plant-1. In case of leaf pigment composition the chlorophyll a and b was 70.45 ± 11.97 and28.32 ± 4.37 mg 100 g-1 FW. On an average, the increasing order of the nutrients of proximate analysis in fresh sample was fat<ash<carbohydrate<protein<moisture. Besides those, mineral composition and antioxidant properties of watercress leaves were evaluated. Potassium mineral concentration was highest in watercress leaves 278±45% w.b. followed by Calcium 131±13 % w.b. The ascorbic acid was found in highest concentration 70.57±5.78 mg/100g fresh weight. Results also showed 50.42±2.77 mg GAE/g phenols and 0.13±0.03 mg/ml DPPH radicle scavenging activity in watercress. Progressive Agriculture, Vol. 30, Suppl. 1: 10-16, 2019

Abstract:
The response of watercress (Nasturtium officinale L.) to salinity has been scarcely addressed in literature despite its growing importance in the baby-leaf market and its wide cultivation in salt-affected agricultural regions. This work evaluates the effect of salinity (2.5, 5 and 10 dS m-1) on productive and quality features of watercress compared with another crop widely cultivated for the baby-leaf sector (lettuce, Lactuca sativa). In watercress, a linear relationship (R2=0.75) was observed between yield decrease and Cl– accumulation in leaves, whereas yield was not affected by salinity in lettuce. NaCl application increased Na+ accumulation at the expense of Ca2+ uptake in the leaf tissues of both crops, but also of K+ in watercress. Health-related features were improved by salinity (e.g. increased phenolics and reduced nitrates), especially in watercress, with limited sensorial quality evaluation effects.

Abstract:
During 2001, watercress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum) plants displayed in vegetable markets located in the district capital, Caracas, showed severe leaf distortion, chlorosis, and mosaic. Viral etiology was suspected, and several plants were brought to the lab for further analyses. Electron microscopic studies of leaf-dip preparations from symptomatic samples revealed flexuous viral particles 750 nm long. Infected cells contained pinwheel inclusions and scrolls typical of those associated with infection by a potyvirus. The virus was sap-transmitted back to watercress, which developed symptoms identical to those first observed. Disease symptoms were also reproduced on Nicotiana benthamiana using mechanical inoculation with watercress-infected sap. All samples were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, using polyclonal antibodies (Agdia, Elkhart, IN) to Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), the only potyvirus that has been found infecting watercress plants (1). TuMV was detected in 88% of 100 samples taken from 18 markets on a single day. Symptoms were noted in every market when visited once a month during a 6-month period. The high percentage of TuMV-infected watercress in the 18 local markets (all 10 to 11 km from watercress fields) makes further epidemiological studies desirable. To our knowledge, this is the first report of TuMV infection of watercress in Venezuela. References: (1) A. Brunt et al. Viruses of Plants. CAB International, Wallingford, Oxon, UK. 1996.

Abstract:
Dietary intake of isothiocyanates (ITC) has been associated with reduced cancer risk. The dietary phenethyl ITC (PEITC) has previously been shown to decrease the phosphorylation of the translation regulator 4E binding protein 1 (4E-BP1). Decreased 4E-BP1 phosphorylation has been linked to the inhibition of cancer cell survival and decreased activity of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), a key positive regulator of angiogenesis, and may therefore contribute to potential anti-cancer effects of PEITC. In the present study, we have investigated the in vitro and in vivo effects of watercress, which is a rich source of PEITC. We first demonstrated that, similar to PEITC, crude watercress extracts inhibited cancer cell growth and HIF activity in vitro. To examine the effects of dietary intake of watercress, we obtained plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells following the ingestion of an 80 g portion of watercress from healthy participants who had previously been treated for breast cancer. Analysis of PEITC in plasma samples from nine participants demonstrated a mean maximum plasma concentration of 297 nm following the ingestion of watercress. Flow cytometric analysis of 4E-BP1 phosphorylation in peripheral blood cells from four participants demonstrated significantly reduced 4E-BP1 phosphorylation at 6 and 8 h following the ingestion of watercress. Although further investigations with larger numbers of participants are required to confirm these findings, this pilot study suggests that flow cytometry may be a suitable approach to measure changes in 4E-BP1 phosphorylation following the ingestion of watercress, and that dietary intake of watercress may be sufficient to modulate this potential anti-cancer pathway.

Abstract:
Watercress (Nasturtium nasturtium) is a medical plant containing diverse chemically-active substances with biological properties. The present study was conducted to investigate the immunomodulatory effects of watercress extract on immunological and hematological parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Fish were fed for 21 days with diet supplemented with 0.1% and 1% of watercress extract per 1 kg food and with a normal diet as control. Hematological parameters such as red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC), hematocrit (Hct), hemoglobin (Hb), RBC index like mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) as well as immunological parameters such as peroxidase, lysozyme and complement activities, total protein, albumin and globulin levels were measured after 21 days of watercress extract treatment. The results indicated that oral administration of 1 % watercress extract in fish may enhance some hematological and immunological parameters including Hb and MCHC, lysozyme and complement activities, total protein and globulin levels, compared to the controls after 21 days of experimental period. In conclusion, on the basis of these results, oral administration of watercress extract may be useful to improve fish’s immune system.

Abstract:
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer related mortality globally, and epidemiological studies suggest a link between healthy nutrition and cancer prevention. Members of the Brassicaceae family, including watercress, have been extensively studied for their anti-cancer and anti-genotoxic potential. Watercress has a complex phytonutrient profile characterised by high levels of carotenoids, flavonols and glucosinolates. Extracts of watercress exhibit strong antioxidant capacity in vitro. Watercress and its components have been associated with the inhibition of the three stages of carcinogenesis: initiation, proliferation and metastasis in in vitro cancer cell models. Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) is a glucosinolate break-down product and watercress is the richest dietary source of it. It has received considerable attention for its anti-cancer properties and has been tested in a number of clinical trials. In this thesis, the effects of crude watercress extract and PEITC on the metabolic and phenotypic responses in breast cancer and healthy breast tissue cell lines were examined. Radiotherapy is the most common treatment modality for breast cancer patients; it functions by killing cancer cells but it simultaneously damages healthy tissues. We set out to examine synergistic responses to irradiation and watercress or PEITC exposures in breast cancer cells and we further investigated whether watercress or PEITC can be protective against radiation induced collateral damage. Watercress and PEITC effectively modulated important cancer cell metabolic pathways associated with anti-cancer endpoints such as cell cycle arrest and DNA damage. In this thesis, PEITC has been shown to enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to irradiation making the cancer killing process more effective, whereas watercress can protect healthy breast cells from radiation induced damage. These observations appear to be mediated by the ability of PEITC and other phytochemicals in watercress to interact with the antioxidant glutathione. The results obtained from this work remain to be validated in a clinical setting.

Abstract:
Epidemiological studies indicate that there is an inverse relationship between consumption of cruciferous vegetables and risk of cancer. As a result there is much interest in understanding the anticancer potential not only of cruciferous vegetables themselves but also of the key phytochemicals contained in them. This project focuses on the potential anticancer properties of watercress, a cruciferous vegetable which is cultivated around the world and eaten raw as a salad vegetable as well as in cooked dishes. Watercress is the most abundant source of gluconasturtiin, a precursor to the phytochemical phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), and is also a rich source of indole-3- carbinol (13C) and quercetin. This project addressed the hypothesis that the in vitro anticancer activity of watercress can be enhanced by altering the growth environment. To investigate this it was necessary to develop assays that can be used to assess the in vitro anticancer activity of watercress-derived compounds, to explore the mechanisms by which PEITC exhibits its anticancer effects, and to determine potential effects of altered growth conditions on in vitro anticancer properties. The activity of watercress-derived phytochemicals was analysed in a series of in vitro assays. Based on these results, inhibition of MCF7 cell growth and activation of Nrf2-dependent transcription were selected as potential assays for subsequent analysis of watercress extracts. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that PEITC inhibited the transcriptional activity of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF), a key positive regulator of angiogenesis in malignant cells. Inhibition of HIF function was associated with inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity and decreased HIF1 a mRNA translation, and was dependent on the presence of the mTORC1 regulator, tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2). I also demonstrated that, in addition to effects on HIF1 a mRNA translation, PEITC inhibited general protein synthesis and modulated two other key regulators of translation, eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) and eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2). In proof-of-principle experiments, I demonstrated that growth inhibition and Nrf2 activation assays were suitable for the analysis of crude watercress extracts and that a natural variety of "red" watercress displayed approximately 10-fold more potent in vitro anticancer activity than standard, commercial "green" watercress. However, in a series of field trials, modulation of time of harvest, water availability or sulfur fertilisation did not alter the in vitro effects of watercress extracts in growth inhibition/Nrf2 activation assays. In conclusion, this study suggests that, rather than altering environmental factors, selective breeding might be a better approach to increase the in vitro anticancer activity of watercress. Moreover, my findings have increased our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the anticancer activity of PEITC, uncovering a novel role for PEITC in inhibiting HIF1 a and total protein synthesis, and identifying several key regulators of these processes that are modulated by PEITC

Abstract:
Despite the increased prominence of ecological measurement in fresh waters within recent national regulatory and legislative instruments, their assessment is still almost exclusively based on taxonomic structure. Integrated metrics of structure and function, though widely advocated, to date have not been incorporated into these bioassessment programmes. We sought to address this, by assessing community structure (macroinvertebrate assemblage composition) and ecosystem functioning (decomposition, primary production, and herbivory rates), in a series of replicated field experiments, at watercress farms on the headwaters of chalk streams, in southern England. The outfalls from watercress farms are typically of the highest chemical quality, however surveys have revealed long-term (30 years) impacts on key macroinvertebrate taxa, in particular the freshwater shrimp Gammarus pulex (L.), yet the ecosystem-level consequences remain unknown. Initial studies were at Europe’s largest watercress farm at St Mary Bourne, Hampshire, during the bioremediation of its complex wastewaters and changes to farm management practices. These widened to include larger scale spatiotemporal studies at other watercress farms. Detrimental ecological impacts at the start of the study were detected by the structural and functioning measures, but they did not respond to bioremediation. However, an increase in G. pulex abundance was detected, providing evidence of recovery in response to altered practices, which may be attributable to the cessation of chlorine use. The detrimental impacts were unique to the St Mary Bourne watercress farm and were not consistent across the other watercress farms in the study. Our results demonstrate the importance of integrated metrics of both ecosystem structure and functioning, to derive a more comprehensive view of aquatic ecosystems and highlights the difficulties associated with extrapolating from laboratory studies in response to stressors.

Full text
Abstract:
Scholarly works on agricultural and food history, on cultural geography and on landscape have long informed and enriched geographical thinking. However few researchers have drawn from these extensive bodies of work in order to investigate the cultural landscapes of food. This thesis aims to address that. It proposes the notion that foods can and do have cultural landscapes; landscapes that exhibit temporal changes which reflect changes occurring in the wider society. It goes on to investigate this notion through an historical case study of one particular food: watercress. Watercress itself has received little attention from geographical researchers. It was in 1997 that the distinguished scholar Joan Thirsk published Alternative Agriculture and revealed the important role that has been played by horticulture and market gardening in the history of English agriculture. However, watercress has still not been the focus of a dedicated study, despite the fact that it has long been both grown and consumed in England, with commercial cultivation of the crop beginning around 1808 in Kent. This thesis suggests that not only can watercress be said to have a cultural landscape, but also that the study of it reveals thickly textured geographies that have previously been hidden. Examination of a wide range of archival, written and pictorial sources reveals the engagements that have taken place between watercress growers and government officials, as well as the inspiration its wider associations have provided to artists and writers. Watercress emerges as a food with a rich cultural hinterland; a potent carrier of fears and desires, diseases and enterprises, dreams and salvation. It crosses the boundaries between the countryside and the city and, by so doing, reveals that those boundaries are less rigid than have traditionally been perceived.

Full text
Abstract:
The plasmodiophorid organism, Spongospora subterranea f. sp. nasturtii, is the causal agent of crook root disease of watercress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticumy. The only current control measure is zinc, used such that levels do not exceed 0.07S~g mrl in effluent water. Laboratory results indicated that zinc acts by actively lysing zoospores of S. subterranea, but does not cause 100% mortality at field concentrations. At 8ug ml", around 20 % of zoospores were seen to survive compared to controls. Of other cations investigated as potential control agents, none were as effective as zinc at equivalent levels. Only cobalt was capable of significant zoospore lysis. Attraction of zoospores to watercress roots and total root extracts appeared to be non-specific when compared to attraction to tobacco (Nicotiana rustica), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), and mustard (Brassica napus). Results implied that a general plant attractant was present, and that this did not mask a more specific attractant. A molecular, PeR-based diagnostic test was developed for S. subterranea f. sp. nasturtii. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and I8S ribosomal DNA were used to design specific peR primers, capable of detecting DNA directly from zoospores. As little as Sng genomic DNA or 100 zoospores were required as template. Efforts to develop a sampling technique for zoospores in watercress beds were successful based on washing root material followed by peR. DNA analysis also identified a Chytridiomycete-like organism as being consistently associated with crooked roots. However, preliminary studies showed that it did not have a direct role in crook root disease. The I8S ribosomal DNA sequence was' used to infer phylogeny of S. subterranea f. sp. nasturtii, and plasmodiophorids generally, by performing parsimonious and distance-based analyses. Within the plasmodiophorid grouping, S. suhterranea f. sp. nasturtii appeared to be closely related to S. suhterranea f. sp. suhterranea and Plasmodiophora brassicae, based on 270 bases at the 3' end of the gene, whilst Polymyxa species aligned on a separate branch. Based on a complete I8S ribosomal DNA analysis, plasmodiophorids seemed to form a discrete taxonomic grouping, not closely linked to either protists or fungi.

Abstract:
In the course of the work, the hypothesis of the stimulating effect of combined laser radiation on the growth of watercress microgreens was tested. The doses of 0.6-18 J were used in the experiment, some biometric and biochemical parameters of seedlings were evaluated. It was found that a significant increase in biomass was observed when irradiated with doses of 2.4-4.2; 5.4-6.0 J.
