Summary Temperature influences the distribution and performance of both plants and insect herbivores. Consequently, plant–herbivore interactions are likely to vary across thermal gradients, which could affect the evolution of plant defense. Furthermore, temperature fluctuations may elicit immediate changes in defense.

Glucosinolate types and concentrations in seedlings of different Brassica species used for food [PDF]
Brassicaceous food crops contain in their tissues different quantities of the glucoside allelochemicals known as glucosinolates (Bellostas et al., 2004; Sørensen, 1990).

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

Chemical and mechanical defences of a metal‐hyperaccumulating plant species Arabidopsis halleri were more influenced by plant accession (genetic background) and insect herbivory by a leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae than by supplementation of the metalloid silicon.

Summary Plants typically host insect communities composed of multiple trophic levels that are intricately linked through interactions mediated by the shared food plant. Hyperparasitoids are top‐level carnivores in such systems, preying on parasitoid larvae developing inside herbivores. These hyperparasitoids can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of

Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate derived from broccoli and is related to various health‐promoting effects. By using metabolic profiling on the hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2 several effects on pathways such as TCA cycle, urea cycle and redox metabolism through SFN were identified.

Processing-bioprocessing of oilseed rape in bioenergy production and value added utilization of remaining seed components [PDF]
Cruciferous oilseed crops accumulate relatively high concentrations of oil, proteins and dietary fibres (DF) in their seeds, in addition to bioactive components as glucosinolates and myrosinase isoenzymes (thioglucohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.147). When mixed in

Allyl isothiocyanate induced stress response in
Background Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) from mustard is cytotoxic; however the mechanism of its toxicity is unknown. We examined the effects of AITC on heat shock protein (HSP) 70 expression in Caenorhabditis elegans.

SNRK3.15 Is a Crucial Component of the Sulfur Deprivation Response in Arabidopsis thaliana
ABSTRACT Sulfate deprivation (–S) results in numerous metabolic and phenotypic alterations in plants. Kinases are often key players in transducing nutrient status signals to molecular components involved in metabolic and developmental program regulation, but despite the physiological importance of sulfur, to date, no signaling kinases have been ...
