Seeds contained six novel glucosinolates relative to the vegetative tissues; including 7-methylthioheptyl-; 8-methylthiooctyl-; 3-hydroxypropyl-; 4-hydroxybutyl-; 3-benzoyloxypropyl- and 4-benzoyloxybutyl- glucosinolates. On the other hand; glucosinolates that predominate in the seed; including 3-hydroxypropyl-; 4-hydroxybutyl-; 3-benzoyloxypropyl-; 4-benzoyloxybutyl-; 4-methylthiobutyl-; 7-methylthioheptyl-; 8-methylsulfinyoctyl-; 8-methylthiooctyl-; and 4-hydroxyindol-3-ylmethyl- glucosinolate remained constant or showed a decrease upon seedling germination (Brown et al. 2003)
