Glucosinolate diversity in seven field-collected Brassicaceae species.

ABSTRACT: The glucosinolate-myrosinase system is a well-known chemical defense in the Brassicales order, which has been extensively studied in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we assessed natural variation of leaf glucosinolate content and profiles in seven species of the Brassicaceae family, using over 300 cauline leaf samples collected from wild populations in Germany and France. Total glucosinolate content varied substantially among individuals, populations and species. Analysis of glucosinolate profiles identified two types of profiles each for Cardamine amara and C. pratensis, and three profile types for C. impatiens. One profile type for each Cardamine species showed glucosinolate compositions distinct from previously described profile types. In contrast, the glucosinolate profiles of the other fou
