Multiple glutathione-S-transferases detoxify diverse glucosinolate-based defenses of Brassicales plants in a generalist lepidopteran herbivore (Spodoptera littoralis) [PDF]
Communications BiologyBrassicales plants defend themselves with glucosinolates that, upon herbivory, are hydrolyzed into toxic isothiocyanates (ITCs) and other derivatives. The side chain diversity of glucosinolates results in a range of structurally distinct products, but ...
