Abstract excerpt
Hydrocinnamic acid esters, lignin, flavonoids, glucosinolates, and salicylic acid protect plants against UV exposure, oxidative stress, diseases, and herbivores. Through the phenylpropanoid pathway, certain Brassicaceae family members, including Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus, accumulate large amounts of the anti-nutritive sinapoylcholine (sinapine) in the seed. We successfully down-regulated activities...
