Inactivation of Thioglucosidase from Sinapis alba (White Mustard) Seed by Metal Salts
The glucosinolates which are specialized plant metabolites of Brassica vegetables are prone to hydrolysis catalyzed by an endogenous enzyme myrosinase (thioglycoside hydrolase, thioglucosidase) that exists in Brassica plant tissue causing volatile ...

Factors Influencing Sulforaphane Content in Broccoli Sprouts and Subsequent Sulforaphane Extraction
Broccoli sprouts contain 10–100 times higher levels of sulforaphane than mature plants, something that has been well known since 1997. Sulforaphane has a whole range of unique biological properties, and it is especially an inducer of phase 2 detoxication

Myrosinases are β-thioglucoside glucosidases that are unique to the Brassicales order. These enzymes hydrolyze glucosinolates to produce compounds that have direct antibiotic effects or that function as signaling molecules in the plant immune system ...

The Cell Differentiation of Idioblast Myrosin Cells: Similarities With Vascular and Guard Cells
Idioblasts are defined by abnormal shapes, sizes, and contents that are different from neighboring cells. Myrosin cells are Brassicales-specific idioblasts and accumulate a large amount of thioglucoside glucohydrolases (TGGs, also known as myrosinases ...

Studies on the Myrosinase fromWasabia japonica:Purification and Some Properties of Wasabi Myrosinase
The myrosinase from Wasabi (Wasabia japonica) is effectively extracted by sonication. The enzyme is purified about 100-fold by gel-filtration on Sephacryl S-200, Sepharose 6B and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex. The enzyme is active only when L-ascorbic acid is added to the reaction mixture. General reducing reagents (2-mercaptoethanol and

Glucosinolate Biosynthesis and the Glucosinolate–Myrosinase System in Plant Defense
Insect pests represent a major global challenge to important agricultural crops. Insecticides are often applied to combat such pests, but their use has caused additional challenges such as environmental contamination and human health issues.

Complex Formation of Myrosinase Isoenzymes in Oilseed Rape Seeds Are Dependent on the Presence of Myrosinase-Binding Proteins [PDF]
Abstract The enzyme myrosinase (EC 3.2.3.1) degrades the secondary compounds glucosinolates upon wounding and serves as a defense to generalist pests in Capparales. Certain myrosinases are present in complexes together with other proteins such as myrosinase-binding proteins (MBP) in extracts of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) seeds ...

To determine the response of Chinese kale (Brassica alboglabra) sprouts to photoperiods under different light sources, we used four photoperiods (0-h light/24-h dark, 8-h light/16-h dark, 12-h light/12-h dark, and 16-h light/8-h dark) to investigate ...

Coronatine-insensitive 1 (COI1) mediates transcriptional responses of Arabidopsis thaliana to external potassium supply [PDF]
The ability to adjust growth and development to the availability of mineral nutrients in the soil is an essential life skill of plants but the underlying signaling pathways are poorly understood.
