Abstract<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The enzyme myrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase, TGG) catalyses the hydrolysis of a group of low-molecular-weight compounds known as glucosinolates (GSLs) [1]. In plants, this myrosinase\u2013GSL bond is a chemical protection system against herbivores and pathogens. Myrosinase is localised in myrosin cells, which are mostly found peripherally in phloem tissue [1]. Myrosinases and their substrates, GSLs, are spatially stored in myrosin cells and sulphur-rich cells (S-cells), respectively. Usually, myrosin cells are scattered between parenchyma cells and S-cells [2].\u00a0Tropaeolum majus<\/em>\u00a0L., the nasturtium (Tropaeolaceae family, order Brassicales) is a plant containing a variety of macro- and microelements and biologically active compounds, such as polyphenols, anthocyanins, natural pigments and ascorbic acid [3,4].<\/p>\n

The presence, localisation and expression of the enzyme myrosinase type 1 (TGG1) at different developmental stages of\u00a0T. majus<\/em>\u00a0(nasturtium) can be investigated using immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent techniques. During plant development, within four consecutive weeks, the expression of myrosinase was detected in the vegetative organs of\u00a0T. majus<\/em>. The root is shown to be the place of greater myrosinase accumulation and activity, contrary to the nasturtium stem and leaf, whit the lowest myrosinase expression. Myrosinase type 1 expression decreases with the growth and ageing of the plant. The ultrastructure of nasturtium myrosin cells has revealed their rectangular shape, dominant large central vacuole, some smaller vacuoles in the periphery and an expanded rough endoplasmic reticulum [5].<\/p>\n

Beneficial biological effects of\u00a0T. majus<\/em>\u00a0are related to the enzymatic activity of myrosinase. Thanks to the GSL\u2013myrosinase system and the formation of GSL degradation products\u00a0T. majus<\/em> has a potential practical application in medicine and various industries (food industry, agro-industry, pharmaceutical industry).<\/p>\n
