Abstract

Understanding of glucosinolate (GL) biosynthesis pathway is a key factor to improve yield and nutritional properties of crops. Thus, there are many studies focusing on the investigation of the biosynthesis and metabolism of GLs. The transcriptional regulation of this pathway is well described; however, cofactors and forming intermediates have still been controversial and need further investigation. This chapter will focus on the biosynthesis of GLs in the consideration of the newly discovered redox regulation of the pathway and the role of various transcription factors as well as the contribution of their intercellular and intracellular. The effects of plant in vitro culture conditions and nutritious supplies on the biosynthesis, quality, and quantity of GLs in plants have also been highlighted.
