Abstract
Glucosinolates are important in (1) determining meal quality of oilseed brassicas, (2) mediating pest and pathogen interactions and (3) determining the anticarcinogenic activity and flavour of horticultural cruciferous crops. This programme seeks to elucidate the genetic regulation of glucosinolates and to manipulate the glucosinolate content of brassica crops through the use of marker- assisted selection and cloned genes.
