The glucosinolates (GSLs) is a well-defined group of plant metabolites characterized by
having an S-β-d-glucopyrano unit anomerically connected to an O-sulfated (Z) …

Plants are under constant attack from pathogens and herbivorous insects. To protect and
defend themselves, plants evolved a multi-layered surveillance system, known as the innate …

Selection pressure exerted by insects and microorganisms shapes the diversity of plant
secondary metabolites. We identified a metabolic pathway for glucosinolates, known insect …

Lectins are ubiquitous proteins that reversibly bind to specific carbohydrates and, thus, serve
as readers of the sugar code. In photosynthetic organisms, lectin family proteins play …

Abstract β-Glucosidases (3.2. 1.21) are found in all domains of living organisms, where they
play essential roles in the removal of nonreducing terminal glucosyl residues from …

Glucosinolates are a group of thioglucosides in plants of the Brassicales order. Together
with their hydrolytic enzymes, the myrosinases, they constitute the 'mustard oil …

The micronutrient zinc is essential for all living organisms, but it is toxic at high
concentrations. Here, to understand the effects of excess zinc on plant cells, we performed …

The endoplasmic reticulum body (ER body) is an organelle derived from the ER that occurs
in only three families of the order Brassicales and is suggested to be involved in plant …

The immune system consists of a complex network of cells and molecules that interact with
each other to initiate the host defense system. Many of these interactions involve specific …
