| Abstract | Glucosinolates are plant secondary metabolites that are hydrolysed by the action of myrosinases into various products (isothiocyanates, thiocyanates, epithionitriles, nitriles, oxazolidines). Massive hydrolysis of glucosinolates occurs only upon tissue damage but there is also evidence indicating metabolism of glucosinolates in intact plant tissues. It was originally believed that the glucosinolate–myrosinase system in intact plants was stable due to a spatial separation of the components. This has been coined as the ‘mustard oil bomb’ theory. Proteins that form complexes with myrosinases have been described: myrosinase-binding proteins (MBPs) and myrosinase-associated proteins (MyAPs/ESM). The roles of these proteins and their biological relevance are not yet completely known. Other proteins of the myrosinase enzyme system are the epithiospecifier protein (ESP) and the thiocyanate-forming protein (TFP) that divert the glucosinolate hydrolysis from isothiocyanate production to nitrile/epithionitrile or thiocyanate production. Some glucosinolate hydrolysis products act as plant defence compounds against insects and pathogens or have beneficial health effects on humans. In this review, we survey and critically assess the available information concerning the localization, both at the tissular/cellular and subcellular level, of the different components of the myrosinase enzyme system. Data from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana is compared to that from other glucosinolate-producing Brassicaceae in order to show common as well as divergent features of the ‘mustard oil bomb’ among these species. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
