Isothiocyanate release from soil-incorporated Brassica tissues.
- M. Morra, J. Kirkegaard
- Biology
- 1 November 2002
Abstract Isothiocyanates (ITCs) released from glucosinolates in Brassicaceous residues are thought to suppress soil-borne plant pests, however, little is known about ITC formation in soil. We… Expand
Allelochemicals released in soil following incorporation of rapeseed (Brassica napus) green manures.
- J. B. Gardiner, M. Morra, C. Eberlein, P. Brown, V. Borek
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of agricultural and food chemistry
- 4 August 1999
Plant-derived allelochemicals such as those produced by glucosinolate hydrolysis in Brassica napus, or rapeseed, are viable alternatives to synthetic compounds for the control of soil-borne plant… Expand
Speciation of sulfur in humic and fulvic acids using X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy
- M. Morra, S. Fendorf, P. D. Brown
- Chemistry
- 1 February 1997
Abstract Sulfur species in soils and sediments have previously been determined indirectly using destructive techniques. A direct and more accurate method for S speciation would improve our… Expand
Carbon and Nitrogen Analysis of Soil Fractions Using Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy

Isothiocyanates Produced by Brassicaceae Species as Inhibitors of Fusarium oxysporum.
- U. Smolińska, M. Morra, G. Knudsen, R. L. James
- Biology, Medicine
- Plant disease
- 1 April 2003
Glucosinolates contained in members of the Brassicaceae release isothiocyanates potentially useful in controlling Fusarium oxysporum pathogens in conifer seedling nursery soils. Our objective was to… Expand
Transformation of the Glucosinolate-Derived Allelochemicals Allyl Isothiocyanate and Allylnitrile in Soil
- V. Borek, M. Morra, P. D. Brown, J. Mccaffrey
- Chemistry
- 1 July 1995
Hydrolysis of glucosinolates in Brassica tissues results in formation of allelochemicals potentially useful in controlling soil-borne plant pests. Major degradation products of glucosinolates in soil… Expand
Hydrolysis products of glucosinolates in Brassica napus tissues as inhibitors of seed germination
- P. D. Brown, M. Morra
- Biology
- Plant and Soil
- 1 April 1996
Enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates, a class of compounds found in Brassica species, results in a number of products with potential to inhibit seed germination. To investigate the impact of both… Expand
Allelochemicals Produced during Sinigrin Decomposition in Soil
- V. Borek, M. Morra, P. D. Brown, J. Mccaffrey
- Chemistry
- 1 April 1994
Although allelochemicals are produced from glucosinolates contained in Brassica spp. tissues, little is known concerning allelochemical formation and fate in soil. Enzymatic decomposition of sinigrin… Expand
