Endophytic fungi from the roots of horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) and their interactions with the defensive metabolites of the glucosinolate - myrosinase - isothiocyanate system

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2018
BackgroundThe health of plants is heavily influenced by the intensively researched plant microbiome. The microbiome has to cope with the plant’s defensive secondary metabolites to survive and develop, but studies that describe this interaction are rare ...

Allyl isothiocyanate induced stress response in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2011
Background Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) from mustard is cytotoxic; however the mechanism of its toxicity is unknown. We examined the effects of AITC on heat shock protein (HSP) 70 expression in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Plant Defensive β-Glucosidases Resist Digestion and Sustain Activity in the Gut of a Lepidopteran Herbivore

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
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 ...

Development and validation of a quick assay for the total glucosinolate content in horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) using glucose strips and a blood glucose meter. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A quick assay to determine the total glucosinolate content of fresh horseradish roots in less than 10 minutes is described. The method involves the following steps: 1.

One Pathway Is Not Enough: The Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle Psylliodes chrysocephala Uses Multiple Strategies to Overcome the Glucosinolate-Myrosinase Defense in Its Host Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a key pest of oilseed rape in Europe, and is specialized to feed on Brassicaceae plants armed with the glucosinolate-myrosinase defense system.

Glucoraphanin, sulforaphane and myrosinase activity in germinating broccoli sprouts as affected by growth temperature and plant organs

open access: yesJournal of Functional Foods, 2014
The effect of growth temperature on glucoraphanin, sulforaphane and myrosinase activity in germinating broccoli sprouts was firstly evaluated, and then their distributions in the cotyledon, hypocotyl and root at the optimum temperature were investigated.

Sinigrin and Its Therapeutic Benefits

open access: yesMolecules, 2016
Sinigrin (allyl-glucosinolate or 2-propenyl-glucosinolate) is a natural aliphatic glucosinolate present in plants of the Brassicaceae family, such as broccoli and brussels sprouts, and the seeds of Brassica nigra (mustard seeds) which contain high ...

Environmental stress affects the glucosinolate-myrosinase system in brassica species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Glucosinolates are secondary metabolites present in the order Capparales which includes the economically important Brassicaceae family. Although glucosinolates are generally not bioactive, enzymatic hydrolysis by myrosinase produces breakdown products ...
