  1. 6. Studies of potential effectors of myrosinase function

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

    Författare :Oscar Javier Parra Pachon; [2011]
    Nyckelord :myrosinase; glucosinolate; ascorbic acid; arabidopsis thaliana; isothiocyanate;

    Sammanfattning : Glucosinolates are sulphur and nitrogen containing secondary metabolites which are present in the order Brassicales. These compounds are hydrolysed by enzymes called myrosinases upon tissue damage and serve to protect plants against insects and pathogens. LÄS MER

  2. 7. Crystallization attempt of TGG5 andmutant studies of TGG4 myrosinase fromthale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana)

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

    Författare :Carlos Sibrian; [2009]
    Nyckelord :Myrosinase; glucosinolate; Arabidopsis thaliana; mutant studies; TGG4;

    Sammanfattning : Myrosinase is a glucosidase normally found in plants of the order Capparales and that is involved in the breakdown of glucosinolates releasing toxic breakdown products. Together myrosinase and glucosinolates form a plant defence system that deters pests and herbivores by a barrage of toxic breakdown products. LÄS MER

  3. 8. Myrosinase activity in microorganisms and its possible health benefits for humans & potential antibacterial effect of marine biological waste products

    L3-uppsats, SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Författare :Caroline Ingman; [2009]
    Nyckelord :myrosinase; glucosinolates; cancer; glucosinolate degradation; antibiotic resistance; marine; new antibiotic targets;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer is an illness that affects countless persons, either they themselves are afflicted or someone in their vicinity is. Research has shown that when glucosinolates – secondary metabolites in plants from the Brassicaceae family – are degraded in the stomach of animals via the enzyme (myrosinase), their metabolites can counteract the formation of tumour cells.
