Removing the mustard oil bomb from seeds : transgenic ablation of myrosin cells in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) produces MINELESS seeds

Many plant phytochemicals constitute binary enzyme-glucoside systems and function in plant defence. In brassicas, the enzyme myrosinase is confined to specific myrosin cells that separate the enzyme from its substrate; the glucosinolates. The myrosinase-catalysed release of toxic and bioactive compo...
