Benzyl and Phenyl Glucosinolates Are Metabolized by the Specific Plant Pathogen Alternaria Brassicicola but Not by the Generalist Fungal Pathogens Rhizoctonia Solani or Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum [PDF]
The metabolism of benzyl and phenyl glucosinolates by three phytopathogenic fungal species is investigated and established that A. brassicicola metabolized intact benzyl and phenyl glucosinolates and the corresponding desulfo derivatives.

Root and shoot glucosinolates: a comparison of their diversity, function and interactions in natural and managed ecosystems [PDF]
The role of glucosinolates in aboveground plant¿insect and plant¿pathogen interactions has been studied widely in both natural and managed ecosystems. Fewer studies have considered interactions between root glucosinolates and soil organisms.

Performance of specialist and generalist herbivores feeding on cabbage cultivars is not explained by glucosinolate profiles [PDF]
Plants display a wide range of chemical defences that may differ in effectiveness against generalist and specialist insect herbivores. Host plant-specific secondary chemicals such as glucosinolates (GS) in Brassicaceae typically reduce the performance of

Broccoli isothiocyanates content and in vitro availability according to variety and origin
Broccoli is considered one of the healthiest vegetables own to its high content of beneficial biologically active compounds – the breakdown products of the glucosinolates, the isothiocyanates.

Brassica vegetables (Brassicaceae) produce a unique class of compounds known as glucosinolates. The breakdown products of glucosinolates, including isothiocyanates, are recognized as the primary sources of bioactivity and characteristic taste, flavor and

Population-related variation in plant defense more strongly affects survival of an herbivore than its solitary parasitoid wasp [PDF]
The performance of natural enemies, such as parasitoid wasps, is affected by differences in the quality of the host’s diet, frequently mediated by species or population-related differences in plant allelochemistry. Here, we compared survival, development

Glucosinolates, a natural chemical arsenal: More to tell than the myrosinase story
Glucosinolates are a group of thioglucosides that belong to the class of plant nitrogen-containing natural products. So far, very little biological activity has been associated with intact glucosinolates.

Performance of generalist and specialist herbivores and their endoparasitoids differs on cultivated and wild Brassica populations [PDF]
Through artificial selection, domesticated plants often contain modified levels of primary and secondary metabolites compared to their wild progenitors.
