Glucosinolates and Biotic Stress Tolerance in Brassicaceae with Emphasis on Cabbage: A Review

Md Abuyusuf et al. Biochem Genet. 2023 Apr.

Abstract

Glucosinolates (GSLs) and GSL-associated genes are receiving increasing attention from molecular biologists due to their multifunctional properties. GSLs are secondary metabolites considered to be highly active in most Brassica species. Their importance has motivated the discovery and functional analysis of the GSLs and GSL hydrolysis products involved in disease development in brassicas and other plants. Comprehensive knowledge of the GSL content of Brassica species and the molecular details of GSL-related genes will help elucidate the molecular control of this plant defense system. This report provides an overview of the current status of knowledge on GSLs, GSL biosynthesis, as well as hydrolysis related genes, and GSL hydrolysis products that regulate fungal, bacterial, and insect resistance in cabbage and other brassicas.

Keywords: Cabbage; GSL biosynthesis genes; Glucosinolates; Insect; Pathogen.
