Chemical Characterization and Release Efficiency of Defatted Mustard Meals: 2000-2002

Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

Abstract

Glucosinolates, compounds that occur in agronomically important crops, may represent a viable source of allelochemic control for various soil-borne plant pests. Toxicity is not attributed to intact glucosinolates, but instead to biologically active products such as isothiocyanates (ITCs), organic cyanides, oxazolidinethiones, and ionic thiocyanate (SCN-) released upon enzymatic degradation bymyrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.3.1) in the presence of water.
