Plants from Brassicaceae family make use of glucosinolate derivatives as natural pesticides and as defence against herbivores. There is currently intense interest in using glucosinolate containing plants as a source of pesticidal compounds to replace synthetic organic compounds for pest control. We present a convenient, rapid and straightforward method for the comprehensive profiling of intact glucosinolates (GLSs), major and minor, occurring in leaves and seeds of Brassicaceae by using electrospray ionization (ESI), ion trap (IT) and Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry (MS). This strategy was successfully applied to recognize known and unknown GLS, which were found in extracts of Brassicaceae.

Abstract
Plants from Brassicaceae family make use of glucosinolate derivatives as natural pesticides and as defence against herbivores. There is currently intense interest in using glucosinolate containing plants as a source of pesticidal compounds to replace synthetic organic compounds for pest control. We present a convenient, rapid and straightforward method for the comprehensive profiling of intact glucosinolates (GLSs), major and minor, occurring in leaves and seeds of Brassicaceae by using electrospray ionization (ESI), ion trap (IT) and Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry (MS). This strategy was successfully applied to recognize known and unknown GLS, which were found in extracts of Brassicaceae.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
