In a study, the effect of salinity in combination with different wavelengths of light in Brassica carinata extracts from microgreens grown under different treatments of salinity and light were checked for their ability to stimulate antioxidant enzymes, including catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and expressions of Nrf2 (nuclear transcription factor-erythroid 2 related factor) and HO-1 proteins (heme-oxygenase -1)on human colorectal carcinoma cells-HCT116 (Maina et al., 2021). This evidence concerns the gene HMOX1 and colorectal carcinoma.
