Glucosinolates and other metabolites in the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana from natural populations and their effects on a generalist and a specialist herbivore (2008, background): “Generally it is assumed that indole glucosinaltes are less effective defense compounds than aliphatic glucosinolates, because upon contact with myrosinase they form unstable isothiocyanates (Wittstock et al. 2003).”
Biology and biochemistry of glucosinolates. (2006, background): “Most of the biological activities of glucosinolates are attributed to the actions of their hydrolysis products (170).”
Herbivore induction of the glucosinolate–myrosinase defense system: major trends, biochemical bases and ecological significance (2008, background): “When hydrolysis products are explicitly tested, isothiocyanates are often found to be responsible for the activity of the parent glucosinolates (Borek et al. 1997; Burow et al. 2006b; Wittstock et al. 2003).”
The ‘mustard oil bomb’: not so easy to assemble?! Localization, expression and distribution of the components of the myrosinase enzyme system (2008, background): “Glucosinolate hydrolysis products have toxic effects on insect pests or serve as attractants for specialist insects (for review: Wittstock et al. 2003).”
