Summary Repetitive DNA is a feature of all organisms, ranging from archaea and plants to humans. DNA repeats can be seen both in coding and in noncoding regions of the genome. Due to the recurring nature of the sequences, simple DNA repeats tend to be more prone to errors during replication and repair, resulting in variability in their unit length ...

Brassicaceae plants contain glucosinolates, which are hydrolysed by myrosinases to toxic products such as isothiocyanates and nitriles, acting as defences. Herbivores have evolved various detoxification strategies, which are reviewed here.

Genetics of aliphatic glucosinolates. II. Hydroxylation of alkenyl glucosinolates in Brassica napus [PDF]
The genetic regulation of hydroxylation of butenyl and pentenyl glucosinolates in Brassica napus is investigated by studying the segregation of the degree of hydroxylation in seeds and leaves of recombinant lines derived from crosses between oilseed rape cultivars and synthetic B. napus lines.

Influence of pH and type of myrosinase complex on the products obtained in the myrosinase catalysed hydrolysis of glucosinolates – a MECC study [PDF]
Environmental conditions, e.g. pH and the presence of Fe2+ are well known factors that influence the product profile of the myrosinase catalysed hydrolysis of glucosinolates.

Effects of selenium biofortification on crop nutritional quality [PDF]
Selenium (Se) at very low doses has crucial functions in humans and animals. Since plants represent the main dietary source of this element, Se-containing crops may be used as a means to deliver Se to consumers (biofortification). Several strategies have

Moonlighting function of Phytochelatin synthase1 in extracellular defense against fungal pathogens [PDF]
Phytochelatin synthase (PCS) is a key component of heavy metal detoxification in plants. PCS catalyzes both the synthesis of the peptide phytochelatin from glutathione and the degradation of glutathione conjugates via peptidase activity.
