Glucosinolates / Jean-Michel Mérillon, Kishan Gopal Ramawat, editors.

This is the first comprehensive reference compilation on the substance class of glucosinolates. This handbook introduces the reader to the sulfur-containing glucosinolates (S-glucosides), a class of secondary metabolites of almost all plants of the order Capparales, in particular in the family Brass...
