Summary Intake of glucosinolates through the consumption of cruciferous vegetables has been associated with numerous health benefits. In recent decades, glucosinolate glucoraphanin has gained a lot of attention, as its hydrolysis product (sulforaphane) is known to possess numerous health‐promoting benefits, including anti‐cancer and chemopreventive ...

Two-component activated chemical defenses are a major part of many plants’ strategies to disrupt herbivory. The activation step is often the β-glucosidase-catalyzed removal of a glucose moiety from a pro-toxin, leading to an unstable and toxic aglycone ...

The striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata, is a globally notorious pest of cruciferous vegetables. In this study, we successfully sequenced the whole genome of the Chinese population of P. striolata. Comparative analysis with the reference genome of the Canadian population enabled a high‐resolution examination of genetic variation, which is ...

Nutritional value of cruciferous oilseed crops in relation to profile of accumulated biomolecules with especial regard to glucosinolates transformation products [PDF]
Cruciferous oilseed crops accumulate relatively high concentrations of nutritional high quality oil and proteins in their seeds. In addition to these major seed components, their co-occurrence with high concentrations of dietary fibre (DF) and various ...

Allyl isothiocyanate inhibits actin mediated intracellular transport in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
Volatile allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) derives from the biodegradation of the glucosinolate sinigrin and has been associated with growth inhibition in several plants, including the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study evaluated the population dynamics of stubby root nematodes (SRN) in field rotations with cover crops and the subsequent effect of this rotation on sugar beet quality and quantity attributes. It was clear that the SRN densities under field conditions are influenced by multiple factors, such as the type of cover crops grown, soil disturbance ...

Bioavailability of glucosinolates and their breakdown products: Impact of processing
Glucosinolates are a large group of plant secondary metabolites with nutritional effects, and are mainly found in cruciferous plants. After ingestion, glucosinolates could be partially absorbed in their intact form through the gastrointestinal mucosa ...

Effect of ascorbic acid and glutathione on the production of nitriles by myrosinase [PDF]
Biofumigation is based on the use of glucosinolate-containing plants for the control of soil-borne pest and diseases. Upon tissue damage, glucosinolates are hydrolyzed by endogenous enzymes (myrosinase) and a range of biologically active compounds are ...
