Genetic Variability in Glucosinolates in Seed of Brassica juncea: Interest in Mustard Condiment
Brassica juncea is mostly used for oil production which implies selection of genotypes with low glucosinolates level and high oil content. In contrast, condiment production needs varieties with high level in some glucosinolates including sinigrin.

The role and effects of glucosinolates of Brassica species - a review
Glucosinolates are the substituted esters of thio amino acids and their synthesis is based on the corresponding amino acids. Methionine and cysteine are the natural donors in the case of the Brassica plants and L-tryptophane in the indole glucosinolates,
