Glucosinolate breakdown products as insect fumigants and their effect on carbon dioxide emission of insects

BMC Ecology, 2002
Background Glucosinolate breakdown products are volatile, therefore good candidates for insect fumigants. However, although they are insecticidal, the mode of action of such natural products is not clear.

Antibacterial Mechanism of Allyl Isothiocyanate

Journal of Food Protection, 2000
Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a natural compound in plants belonging to the family Cruciferae, has been shown to have strong antimicrobial activity in liquid media as well as in its vapor form. To understand its antimicrobial mechanism, AITC was tested for bactericidal activities to Salmonella Montevideo, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Listeria ...

TRPV1 Activation by Allyl Isothiocyanate [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2010
Allyl isothiocyanate (mustard oil, MO) is a highly reactive electrophilic compound known to cause irritation, pain and inflammation. These effects are thus far thought to be mediated by activation of TRPA1, a Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) cation channel expressed in nociceptive neurons.

Endophytic fungi from the roots of horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) and their interactions with the defensive metabolites of the glucosinolate - myrosinase - isothiocyanate system

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background The health of plants is heavily influenced by the intensively researched plant microbiome. The microbiome has to cope with the plant’s defensive secondary metabolites to survive and develop, but studies that describe this interaction are rare.

Antimicrobial Activity of Gaseous Allyl Isothiocyanate

Journal of Food Protection, 1997
A simple model system was constructed to evaluate the microbistatic and microbicidal properties of gaseous allyl isothiocyanate (AIT) against bacterial cells and fungal conidia deposited on agar surfaces. Salmonella typhimurium , Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 were inhibited when exposed to 1,000 μg AIT per liter ...
