RESUMO
The biosynthesis of the mustard oil glucoside, benzylglucosinolate, was studied in Tropaeolum majus L. A number of labeled compounds were administered to plant shoots and the incorporation of tracer into benzylglucosinolate, isolated as the crystalline tetramethyl-ammonium salt, was measured. In order of decreasing efficiency of conversion into benzyl-glucosinolate the compounds fed were S-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)phenylacetothiohydroximic acid (desulfobenzylglucosinolate), sodium phenylacetothiohydroximate, dl-phenylalanine, d-glucose, and sodium-d-1-glucopyranosyl mercaptide (1-thioglucose). The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the thioglucosyl group of benzylglucosinolate is derived by glucosylation of phenylacetothiohydroximate and not from 1-thioglucose. The results also suggest that benzylglucosinolate is formed by sulfation of desulfobenzylglucosinolate as the final step in its biosynthesis.
