Role of secondary metabolites in defense mechanisms of plants (2011, background): “…myrosinase removes the βglucose moiety leading to formation of an unstable intermediates i.e. isothiocyanates (R- N=C=S) and nitriles function in defense as herbivore toxins and feeding repellents (Geu- Flores et al., 2009; Poultron and Moller, 1993; Ratzka et al., 2002; Zukalova and Vask, 2002).”
Significance of Sulfur Compounds in the Protection of Plants Against Pests and Diseases (2005, background): “The two-component system of glucosinolates-myrosinase represents an inadvance prepared protective system that is activated only due to an attack and the subsequent damage of the plant tissue, after which the enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates starts with the formation of bio-active isothiocyanat”
Defence mechanisms of Brassicaceae: implications for plant-insect interactions and potential for integrated pest management. A review (2010, background): “They have been recognised as a class of natural pesticides since they exhibit toxic or repellent e ﬀ ects, by which they establish a signiﬁcant defence mechanism to protect Brassica plants against pests and diseases (Mithen, 1992; Zukalová and Vašák, 2002).”
