The members of the Brassicaceae family possess a class of sulfur and nitrogen containing specialized metabolites glucosinolates (GSLs), that are important for plant defense and animal nutrition. Glucosinolates are both constitutive and inducible, and their accumulation is controlled by environmental, molecular, and genetic levels. Much of the information about the glucosinolate biosynthesis, transport, hydrolysis, turnover, crosstalk amongst biosynthesis and hormonal pathways, and mechanisms controlling glucosinolate accumulation and metabolism during abiotic and biotic stresses has been derived from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (Figure 1). However, there are still lacunae in fully understanding these regulatory processes in crop species. Thus, the purpose of this Research Topic is to decipher several aspects under the glucosinolate regulatory mechanisms, in view of which a total of eight research articles have been published. We sincerely thank Dr. Ralph Kissen and Dr. Tamara Gigolashvili for conceiving this Research Topic and editing research articles. Contribution from all scientists who published their work under this Research Topic are also acknowledged. Glucosinolate research at NCB laboratory is supported by various research grants from Department of Biotechnology, India. BM acknowledges funding from CSIR, India. |
