Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plants are dynamic chemical factories that produce diverse specialised metabolites essential for growth, defence, and environmental adaptation. Metabolomes, shaped by genetic architecture, enable plants to respond to abiotic and biotic pressures, including temperature fluctuations.

Total Myrosinase Activity Estimates in Brassica Vegetable Produce
, 2016 Isothiocyanates, generated from the hydrolysis of glucosinolates in plants of the Brassicaceae family, promote health, including anticancer bioactivity. Hydrolysis requires the plant enzyme myrosinase, giving myrosinase a key role in health promotion by ...

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 ...

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 ...

Separating the effects of temperature and absorbed X‐ray dose on unit‐cell volume
Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 1155-1168, October 2026.The nature of the expansion of the crystal unit‐cell volume with absorbed dose and with temperature was examined for three different proteins.The behaviour of the unit‐cell volume of crystals of the iron‐storage molecule ferritin, both in the apo and the holo form, and of influenza A virus subtype N9 neuraminidase at 100 K and over a controlled cryo ...
