Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 One of the best-studied plant defense systems, the glucosinolate-myrosinase system of the Brassicales, is composed of thioglucosides known as glucosinolates and their hydrolytic enzymes, the myrosinases. Tissue disruption brings these components together,

Herbivore induction of the glucosinolate-myrosinase defense system: major trends, biochemical bases and ecological significance [PDF]
, 2009 Like many other plant defense compounds, glucosinolates are present constitutively in plant tissues, but are also induced to higher levels by herbivore attack.

Regulation of glucosinolate biosynthesis
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020 AbstractGlucosinolates are secondary defense metabolites produced by plants of the order Brassicales, which includes the model species Arabidopsis and many crop species. In the past 13 years, the regulation of glucosinolate synthesis in plants has been intensively studied, with recent research revealing complex molecular mechanisms that connect ...

Restoration of Immune Surveillance in Prostate Cancer Prevention by Sulforaphane in Hi‐Myc Mice
Molecular Carcinogenesis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oral administration of broccoli constituent sulforaphane (SFN) prevents prostate cancer development in preclinical mouse models. However, the mechanism(s) underlying prostate cancer prevention by SFN are not fully understood. In this study, we used a human relevant mouse model (Hi‐Myc mice) to demonstrate restoration of immune surveillance by ...

Phytochemical Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Primary brain tumors are life‐threatening diseases. Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type with a poor prognosis. Medulloblastoma is the most common pediatric brain tumor. While surgical treatments often result in recurrences owing to the complex nature of the tumor microenvironment, conventional treatments lower the quality of life of ...

Glucosinolate hydrolysis products for weed control [PDF]
, 2006 Glucosinolates are allelochemicals present in all Brassica plants. Upon hydrolysis by endogenous enzymes they produce a series of biologically active compounds, such as isothiocyanates and their deriva-tives among others.

Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...
