Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and is closely related to cauliflower. Its cultivation originated in Italy. Broccolo, its Italian name, means “cabbage sprout.” Because of its different components, broccoli provides a range of tastes and textures, from soft and flowery (the floret) to fibrous and crunchy (the stem and stalk). Broccoli contains glucosinolates, phytochemicals which break down to compounds called indoles and isothiocyanates (such as sulphoraphane). Broccoli also contains the carotenoid, lutein. Broccoli is an excellent source of the vitamins K, C, and A, as well as folate and fiber. Broccoli is a very good source of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and the vitamins B6 and E.

At the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam-Golm the name of the working group “Plant cell walls” speaks for itself. Led by Staffan Persson, the group investigates how plant cell walls are constructed. The focus of the research is cellulose, which, next to pectin and hemicellulose, constitutes the main component of the cell walls. The researchers hope to elucidate which proteins are involved in building up the world’s most abundant biopolymer. Cellulose has previously been used for industrial purposes in the paper and textile production, and is expected to become an important source of energy in the future. Martin Bringmann, a PhD student at the Institute until 2012, explains the cellulose research.
