| Abstract: | Cabbage seeds contain 5 glucosinolates and on autolysis produce, in particular, 1-cyano-2-3-epithiopropane. Watercress seeds contain 4 glucosinolates, but none capable of forming a cyanoepithioalkane. Cabbage exhibited behaviour commensurate with possession of an epithiospecifier protein (ESP) whilst watercress did not show any such activity. |
