Atypical Myrosinase as a Mediator of Glucosinolate Functions in Plants
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 ...

Nutritional value of cruciferous oilseed crops in relation to profile of accumulated biomolecules with especial regard to glucosinolates transformation products [PDF]
Cruciferous oilseed crops accumulate relatively high concentrations of nutritional high quality oil and proteins in their seeds. In addition to these major seed components, their co-occurrence with high concentrations of dietary fibre (DF) and various ...

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. The

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 ...

Effect of ascorbic acid and glutathione on the production of nitriles by myrosinase [PDF]
Biofumigation is based on the use of glucosinolate-containing plants for the control of soil-borne pest and diseases. Upon tissue damage, glucosinolates are hydrolyzed by endogenous enzymes (myrosinase) and a range of biologically active compounds are ...

MYROSINASE ACTIVITY IN ARMORACIA RUSTICANA
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 ...

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.

Bioavailability of glucosinolates and their breakdown products: Impact of processing
Glucosinolates are a large group of plant secondary metabolites with nutritional effects, and are mainly found in cruciferous plants. After ingestion, glucosinolates could be partially absorbed in their intact form through the gastrointestinal mucosa ...
