Glucosinolates are a group of thioglucosides in plants of the Brassicales order. Together with their hydrolytic enzymes, the myrosinases, they constitute the 'mustard oil bomb' involved in plant defense. Here we summarize recent studies in Arabidopsis that have provided molecular evidence that the glucosinolate-myrosinase system is much more than a 'two-component defense system,' and started to unravel the roles of different glucosinolate breakdown pathways in the context of plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.
硫代葡萄糖苷是十字花目植物中的一组硫代葡糖苷。它们与水解酶——黑芥子酶一起，构成了参与植物防御的“芥子油炸弹”。在此，我们总结了近期在拟南芥中的研究，这些研究提供了分子证据，表明硫代葡萄糖苷 - 黑芥子酶系统远不止是一个“双组分防御系统”，并开始揭示不同硫代葡萄糖苷分解途径在植物对生物和非生物胁迫响应中的作用。
