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,

Regulation of glucosinolate biosynthesis
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 ...

The genome sequence of Barbarea vulgaris facilitates the study of ecological biochemistry [PDF]
peer-reviewedThe genus Barbarea has emerged as a model for evolution and ecology of plant defense compounds, due to its unusual glucosinolate profile and production of saponins, unique to the Brassicaceae. One species, B.

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.
