Abstract

<p>4-Methylthio-3-butenyl glucosinolate (glucoraphasatin) is known as the main glucosinolate of Japanese radish, daikon. 4-Methylthio-3-butenyl isothiocyanate (raphasatin) is also the main breakdown compound of glucoraphasatin by myrosinase. Raphasatin is the starting compound of sulfurous odors and yellow pigments of manufacturing products of daikon. Recently, three cultivars without containing glucoraphasatin, ‘Daikon parental line No.5’ for a breeding material, ‘Yuhaku’ and ‘Sarah White’ for the commercial cultivars were developed. These cultivars were bred using lines lacking glucoraphasatin, which were successfully developed using mutants selected from genetic resources. Currently, new manufacturing products from ‘Yuhaku’ or ‘Sarah White’ completely prevent sulfurous odors and yellow pigments.</p>
