The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Plant-mediated effects in the Brassicaceae on the performance and behaviour of parasitoids (2008, background): “GS become toxic through a process of catalytic hydrolysis by myrosinase enzymes, which are stored in cytoplasm of specialised myrosin cells that are scattered throughout the plant tissues (Mithen 2001).”
Metabolomic analysis of the interaction between plants and herbivores (2009, background): “Glucosinolates are the most notorious chemical defences produced by the Brassicacea (Bennett and Wallsgrove 1994; Chew 1988; Halkier and Du 1997; Mithen 2001).”
Significance of Sulfur Compounds in the Protection of Plants Against Pests and Diseases (2005, background): “In another study, increasing the glucosinolate level in leaves made plants somewhat more susceptible, and it was suggested that these microbes are able to utilize glucosinolates as growth stimulants (Mithen, 2001).”
