Cells, 2021 The glucosinolate-myrosinase system is a well-known plant chemical defence system. Two functional myrosinase-encoding genes, THIOGLUCOSIDASE 1 (TGG1) and THIOGLUCOSIDASE 2 (TGG2), express in aerial tissues of Arabidopsis.

Plant Physiology, 2021 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
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 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 ...

Differential Expression of Myrosinase Gene Families [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1993 In mature seeds of Brassica napus three major and three minor myrosinase isoenzymes were identified earlier. These myrosinases are known to be encoded by at least two different families of myrosinase genes, denoted MA and MB. In the work described in this paper the presence of different myrosinase isoenzymes in embryos, seedlings, and vegetative mature

Metabolic analysis of the interaction between plants and herbivores [PDF]
, 2008 Insect herbivores by necessity have to deal with a large arsenal of plant defence metabolites. The levels of defence compounds may be increased by insect damage.

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 ...

Thermosonication for the Production of Sulforaphane Rich Broccoli Ingredients
Biomolecules, 2021 A large proportion of broccoli biomass is lost during primary production, distribution, processing, and consumption. This biomass is rich in polyphenols and glucosinolates and can be used for the production of bioactive rich ingredients for food and ...
