Glucosinolate structures in evolution
N Agerbirk, CE Olsen - Phytochemistry, 2012 - Elsevier
By 2000, around 106 natural glucosinolates (GSLs) were probably documented. In the past

Macroevolution and the biological diversity of plants and herbivores
DJ Futuyma, AA Agrawal - Proceedings of the National …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Terrestrial biodiversity is dominated by plants and the herbivores that consume them, and
they are one of the major conduits of energy flow up to higher trophic levels. Here, we …

Invasive plant suppresses the growth of native tree seedlings by disrupting belowground mutualisms
The impact of exotic species on native organisms is widely acknowledged, but poorly
understood. Very few studies have empirically investigated how invading plants may alter …

Evolution in invasive plants: implications for biological control
Evidence is increasing that invasive plants can undergo rapid adaptive evolution during the
process of range expansion. Here, we argue that evolutionary change during invasions will …

Arabidopsis myrosinases TGG1 and TGG2 have redundant function in glucosinolate breakdown and insect defense
C Barth, G Jander - The Plant Journal, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Summary In Arabidopsis and other Brassicaceae, the enzyme myrosinase (β‐thioglucoside

Herbivore induction of the glucosinolate–myrosinase defense system: major trends, biochemical bases and ecological significance
S Textor, J Gershenzon - Phytochemistry Reviews, 2009 - Springer
Like many other plant defense compounds, glucosinolates are present constitutively in plant
tissues, but are also induced to higher levels by herbivore attack. Of the major glucosinolate …
