Brassica oleracea like all crucifers plants have a defense mechanism against natural enemies, which are chemical compounds formed form the enzymatic degradation of glucosinolates. In the presence of epithiospecifier proteins (ESP), the hydrolysis of glucosinolates will form epithionitriles or nitriles depending on the glucosinolate structure, This research proved that three predicted sequences (ESP) taken from NCBI database has a role in the enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates in Brassica oleracea.
