Myrosinase-dependent and –independent formation and control of isothiocyanate products of glucosinolate hydrolysis.

Myrosinase-dependent and –independent formation and control of isothiocyanate products of glucosinolate hydrolysis.

Brassicales contain a myrosinase enzyme that hydrolyzes glucosinolates to form toxic isothiocyanates, as a defense against bacteria, fungi, insects and herbivores including man. Low levels of isothiocyanates trigger a host defense system in mammals that protects them against chronic diseases. Becaus...
