Research and progress on the insect-resistance of glucosinolates
Glucosinolates are important hydrophilic secondary metabolites of cruciferous vegetables,which exist throughout the life cycle of plants as defense products.The degradation products isothiocyanate of glucosinolates had good insecticidal effects,and could be compared with the effects of commercial insecticides.In order to facilitate the development of botanical insecticides,the discovery,chemical synthesis,anti-insect research and application of glucosinolates were reviewed in this paper.
