The glucosinolate–myrosinase system in an ecological and evolutionary context

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2005
Functional analysis of natural variation in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana has enabled the cloning of many glucosinolate biosynthesis and hydrolysis genes. Variation in these genes is central to understanding the ecological role of the glucosinolate-myrosinase defense system, and allows us to dissect the evolutionary and ecological forces that ...

Tissue printing for myrosinase activity in roots of turnip and Japanese radish and horseradish: a technique for localizing myrosinases

Plant Science, 2001
A method for analyzing the tissue distribution of myrosinase activity in Brassicaceous plants was developed. This technique is based on 'tissue printing' to visualize enzyme activity. The freshly-cut surface (transverse direction) of the root of three species, Japanese radish (Raphanus sativus), turnip (Brassica campestris) and Japanese horseradish ...

Myrosinase activity of cruciferous vegetables

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1984
AbstractMyrosinase activity in partially purified extracts of 12 cruciferous vegetables and an acetone powder preparation of Sinapis alba L. (white mustard) was determined by the initial rate of glucose formation from glucosinolate hydrolysis using a coupled assay. Of the species studied Raphanus sativus L.

Myrosinase Activity in Soil Extracts

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1996
Abstract Myrosinase (β‐thioglucoside glucohydrolase; EC 3.2.3.1) catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucosinolates to form a variety of potential allelochemicals. Although these allelochemicals may exert an influence on soil‐borne organisms, the extracellular preservation of plant‐derived myrosinase in soil has not been ...

Mechanistic studies on myrosinase

1997
Myrosinase is the beta-thioglucosidase enzyme which catalyses the hydrolysis of glucosinolates, a group of naturally occurring plant metabolites. Glucosinolates are S-glucosides which occur predominantly in the family Cruciferae, and are abundant in the Brassica vegetables.
