Antimicrobial Efficacy of Garlic (Allium sativum) Extract Against Aeromonas Hydrophila Isolated From Diseased Pangasius Catfish

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
The study evaluated the antibacterial efficacy of garlic (Allium sativum) extracts against Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from diseased Pangasius catfish. Methanolic extract exhibited significant antibacterial activity, producing the largest inhibition zone (15.11 ± 0.05 mm) at 8 mg/mL and showing MIC and MBC values at 6–8 and 8 mg/mL, respectively.

Atypical Myrosinase as a Mediator of Glucosinolate Functions in Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Glucosinolates (GLSs) are a well-known class of specialized plant metabolites, distributed mostly in the order Brassicales. A vast research field in basic and applied sciences has grown up around GLSs owing to their presence in important agricultural ...

Bivalent Histone Modifications Orchestrate Temporal Regulation of Glucosinolate Biosynthesis During Wound‐Induced Stress Responses in Arabidopsis

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 450-473, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary metabolites central to plant defence in the Brassicaceae family. While the role of histone modifications in developmental gene regulation is well studied, their function in stress‐induced secondary metabolism remains unclear.

Dual role of benzoxazinoids in plant response to combined drought stress and aphid feeding

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 45-57, January 2026.
Benzoxazinoids enhance wheat's defence against aphids and drought stress by triggering callose accumulation, and MYB transcription factors regulate wheat stress response. Abstract Plants produce specialized metabolites like benzoxazinoids (BXDs) to survive adverse environmental conditions and deter herbivory, while insects have evolved mechanisms to ...

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Complex Formation of Myrosinase Isoenzymes in Oilseed Rape Seeds Are Dependent on the Presence of Myrosinase-Binding Proteins [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2002
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 ...

Effect of biofumigation with different green manures on soil health and active ingredient profiling

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.
Evaluation of multiple soil health indicators in Brassica green manure revealed that certain Brassica species exhibit fumigant effects and release active ingredients into the soil, suggesting that biofumigation can both effectively control soil‐borne pests and enhance soil fertility.

Independent evolution of ancestral and novel defenses in a genus of toxic plants (Erysimum, Brassicaceae)

eLife, 2020
Phytochemical diversity is thought to result from coevolutionary cycles as specialization in herbivores imposes diversifying selection on plant chemical defenses.

MYROSINASE ACTIVITY IN ARMORACIA RUSTICANA

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture, 1970
This work is part of a study, which is more complex regarding the activity of sinigrin-myrosinase complex. With the help of this study we are following the optimization and the characterization of myrosinase activity with the help of HPLC chromatography and the comparison of the obtained results by spectrophotometric analysis. At different ...

Herbivores induce plant chemical defenses based on the identity of their attacking parasitoid

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Many parasitoids increase plant fitness by decreasing herbivore feeding damage. Solitary parasitoids (where only one individual completes development per host) generally cause their hosts to feed less than unparasitized herbivores, reducing pressure on plants to induce chemical defense production.
