| Abstract: | Background Glucosinolates, a group of nitrogen and sulfur containing compounds associated with plant-insect interactions, are produced
by a number of important Brassicaceae crop species. In Arabidopsis the AOP2 gene plays a role in the secondary modification of aliphatic (methionine-derived) glucosinolates, namely the conversion of
methylsulfinylalkyl glucosinolates to form alkenyl glucosinolates, and also influences aliphatic glucosinolate accumulation. |
