Overexpressing the Myrosinase Gene TGG1 Enhances Stomatal Defense Against Pseudomonas syringae and Delays Flowering in Arabidopsis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Myrosinase enzymes and their substrate glucosinolates provide a specific defensive mechanism against biotic invaders in the Brassicaceae family. In these plants, myrosinase hydrolyzes glucosinolates into diverse products, which can have direct antibiotic

Variability of Bioactive Glucosinolates, Isothiocyanates and Enzyme Patterns in Horseradish Hairy Root Cultures Initiated from Different Organs

Molecules, 2019
Horseradish hairy root cultures are suitable plant tissue organs to study the glucosinolate−myrosinase−isothiocyanate system and also to produce the biologically active isothiocyanates and horseradish peroxidase, widely used in molecular ...

Characterisation of Bacterial Myrosinase

, 2013
The degradation of glucosinolates (GLSs) are mediated by the enzyme commonly known as myrosinase (β-thioglucosidase glucohydrolase; EC 3.2.3.1). There has been limited work on bacterial myrosinases which is surprising since they must play a role in both soil and animal gut ecology.

Benzyl Cyanide Leads to Auxin-Like Effects Through the Action of Nitrilases in Arabidopsis thaliana

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plants within the Brassicales order generate glucosinolate hydrolysis products that can exert different biological effects on several organisms. Here, we evaluated the physiological effects of one of these compounds, benzyl cyanide (phenylacetonitrile ...

Glucosinolate Content in Dormant and Germinating Arabidopsis thaliana Seeds Is Affected by Non-Functional Alleles of Classical Myrosinase and Nitrile-Specifier Protein Genes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
While the defensive function of glucosinolates is well established, their possible role as a nutrient reservoir is poorly understood and glucosinolate turnover pathways have not been elucidated.

Broccoli or Sulforaphane: Is It the Source or Dose That Matters?

Molecules, 2019
There is robust epidemiological evidence for the beneficial effects of broccoli consumption on health, many of them clearly mediated by the isothiocyanate sulforaphane.
