Defence mechanisms of Brassicaceae: implications for plant-insect interactions and potential for integrated pest management. A review (2010, background): “Myrosinases that belong to the MA family occur as free dimers (140 kDa), while members of the MB and MC families are found in high molecular complexes (200–1000 kDa), with myrosinase binding proteins (MBP) and the myrosinase associated proteins (MyAP) (Rask et al., 2000).”
Cover crop residue management for optimizing weed control (2009, background): “Rask et al. 2000 ), tissue disruption is needed to convert glucosinolates into the more toxic volatile breakdown products.”
Cloning of β-Primeverosidase from Tea Leaves, a Key Enzyme in Tea Aroma Formation1 (2002, background): “Most plant -glucosidases in this family are involved in defense mechanisms, in which various toxic aglycons are released by the action of the specific -glucosidases such as cyanogenic glucosidases (Poulton, 1990; Vetter, 2000) and glucosinolate myrosinases (Rask et al., 2000).”
Plant defense against herbivores: chemical aspects. (2012, background): “Besides cyanogenic glycosides, probably the best-known conjugated defense compounds are the glucosinolates (Figure 3) (19, 100, 116, 128), present in Brassicaceae, Capparidaceae, and Tropaeolaceae (Table 1).”
New insights into the shikimate and aromatic amino acids biosynthesis pathways in plants. (2010, background): “Glucosinolates are found almost exclusively in the Brassicales and have been widely studied in Arabidopsis and in other species of the Brassicaceae family (Rask et al., 2000; Reichelt et al., 2002; Yatusevich et al., 2009).”
Herbivore induction of the glucosinolate–myrosinase defense system: major trends, biochemical bases and ecological significance (2008, background): “They have been proposed to stabilize myrosinase activity or alter other enzymatic properties, such as substrate or product specificity, but no supporting evidence is yet available (Eriksson et al. 2002; Rask et al. 2000).”
