Brassicaceae transcriptomes reveal convergent evolution of super-accumulation of sinigrin

Jinghua Yang et al. provide the de novo assemblies of the transcriptomes of wasabi, horseradish and mustard to examine the evolution of specialized glucosinolates. This study demonstrates convergent evolution of super-accumulation of sinigrin in these taxa and may allow for potential strategies to e...
