Abstract
When Brassica rapa seedlings were inoculated with the fungal pathogen Alternaria brassicae, 3-butenyl and 4-pentenyl isothiocyanates were re leased, together with dimethyl disulphide, dimethyl trisulphide, 4-oxo isophorone and a number of sesquiterpenes. Release of isothiocyanates is evidence for the catabolism of glucosinolates during infection, whi ch is a prerequisite for their involvement in resistance. Copyright (C ) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
