THE EFFECT OF L-ASCORBIC ACID ON MYROSINASE ACTIVITY
The addition of 10-2 to 10-3M L-ascorbic acid to the reaction medium was found to greatly promote the white mustard myrosinase activity under the condition (pH 6.4), producing neither white turbidity nor hydrogen sulfide. The amount of the white turbidity and hydrogen sulfide produced on addition of ascorbic acid to the reaction mixture of myrosinase ...

WHIRLY1 regulates aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthesis in early seedling development of Arabidopsis. [PDF]
SUMMARY WHIRLY1 belongs to a family of plant‐specific transcription factors capable of binding DNA or RNA in all three plant cell compartments that contain genetic materials. In Arabidopsis thaliana, WHIRLY1 has been studied at the later stages of plant development, including flowering and leaf senescence, as well as in biotic and abiotic stress ...

Methods of Modifying the Content of Glucosinolates and Their Derivatives in Sprouts and Microgreens During Their Cultivation and Postharvest Handling. [PDF]
Sprouts and microgreens which belong to the Brassicaceae family contain significantly more glucosinolates than mature vegetables, and their composition often differs too. These plant growth stages can be a valuable supplement of the aforementioned compounds in the diet.

Myrosinase from Sinapis alba hydrolyzes glycosidic bonds of β-d-S-glucosides. The enzyme shows an enhanced activity in the presence of l-ascorbic acid.

Glucosinolates are an important class of secondary metabolites in Brassicales plants with a critical role in chemical defense. Glucosinolates are chemically inactive but can be hydrolyzed by myrosinases to produce a range of chemically active compounds ...

A simple & Rapid Method For Detecting Bacterial Myrosinase Corresponding Protein Band
Myrosinases have significant scientific and medical implications. Unfortunately, detection and purification of myrosinase from microbes requires the use of highly cost substrates (glucosinolates) such as sinigrin and expensive instruments such as Fast ...

Arabidopsis myrosinases link the glucosinolate-myrosinase system and the cuticle [PDF]
AbstractBoth physical barriers and reactive phytochemicals represent two important components of a plant’s defence system against environmental stress. However, these two defence systems have generally been studied independently. Here, we have taken an exclusive opportunity to investigate the connection between a chemical-based plant defence system ...

Recent breeding efforts in Brassica have focused on the development of new oilseed feedstock crop for biofuels (e.g., ethanol, biodiesel, bio-jet fuel), bio-industrial uses (e.g., bio-plastics, lubricants), specialty fatty acids (e.g., erucic acid), and ...

Glucoraphanin (GRA), a glucosinolate particularly abundant in broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) sprouts, can be converted to sulforaphane (SFN) by the enzyme myrosinase.

Myrosinase can hydrolyze glucosinolates to generate isothiocyanates, which have cancer prevention and anti-cancer properties. The main sources of myrosinase are cruciferous plants.
