Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recent studies have suggested that glucosinolates work not only as chemical bombs to get rid of enemies but also as signal molecules regulating biological events in the producing plants. Especially, they are expected to play key roles in regulation of abiotic stress responses and developmental processes. In order to elucidate molecular basis of multi-functionality of glucosinolates, we focused on a great diversity in their side-chain structures; more than 20 types of glucosinolates are found in an Arabidopsis plant. In this studyr we report omics-based analysis of the Arabidopsis seedlings treated with natural and synthetic glucosinolates to investigate how the targets of an isothiocyanate group are different depending on their side-chain structures.
