Glucosinolates in Cancer Prevention and Treatment: Experimental and Clinical Evidence Isothiocyanates from glucosinolates in cruciferous vegetables may prevent cancer by affecting tumor-related pathways. However, some compounds could increase tumor risk. More research is crucial! #CancerPrevention #Glucosinolates

An effluent pump family distributed across plant commensal bacteria conditions host- and organ-specific glucosinolate detoxification - Nature Communications Bacterial genes required for plant colonization are highly host- and organ-specific. An efflux pump detoxifies specific Arabidopsis glucosinolates to protect commensal bacteria from plant chemical def...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Boost Development of an Invasive Brassicaceae We show that an invasive, “nonmycorrhizal” Brassicaceae (Alliaria petiolata) can be colonised by AMF, and that this boosts its growth and nutrition even in the absence of classic nutrient exchange ...

Co-option and neofunctionalization of stomatal executors for defence against herbivores in Brassicales - Nature Plants The authors identified a transcriptional module, FAMA–WASABI MAKER (WSB), for the development of stomata and idioblast myrosin cells. They propose that the conserved and reduced FAMA–WSB module was co...

Mustard gets its spicy kick from a chemical reaction between an enzyme called myrosinase and compounds known as glucosinolates, which are stored separately in mustard seeds. When mustard seeds are crushed and mixed with water, this enzymatic reaction produces a compound called allyl isothiocyanate which is responsible for the sharp, hot sensation mustard produces in the mouth. #science #sciencefacts #mustard #myrosinase #glucosinolates #allylisothiocayanate #hotdog #hotdogisnotasandwich
