citation and/or clarification needed: harmful to the plant itself[edit]

this sentance: "Allyl isothiocyanate serves the plant as a defense against herbivores; since it is harmful to the plant itself citation needed, it is stored in the harmless form of the glucosinolate, separate from the myrosinase enzyme." contains several statements about allyl isothiocyanate.

1, that it is not present in the plant tissue but instead created by an enzyme that is released when the plant tissue is mechanically broken. Check.

2, that it is harmful to the plant itself (when present after creation). dobtful, a citation would be needed to make this acceptable.

3, that it is not stored but rather created only in case of damage BECAUSE it is harmful to the plant itself (and not only to the animal damaging the plant). even more doubtful, this one requires BOTH a citation AND a thorough explanation since this is such a speculative statement especially considering that it would be unfeasible anyway to store allyl isothiocyanate for the plant because of the unstable properties of the chemical.

i added a citation needed tag (probably in a wrong format --now fixed--) to the text but it really needs some attention from an editor who is confident with the topic. 89.134.199.32 (talk) 13:23, 29 June 2019 (UTC).[reply]

4631 publications on allyl isothiocyanate[edit]

Including 724 references since 2015, that corresponds to about one paper every other day. We cannot cite them all.--Smokefoot (talk) 15:17, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Vengeance 01's addition[edit]

Vengeance 01 and @Patrickneil: This seems partly redundant and partly just stuff that should be elsewhere. If cited it would be good to have the second half of that in the article. Can you do that Vengeance 01? Invasive Spices (talk) 21:21, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I'm a little confused what dithiocarbamate thiuram has to do with allyl isothiocyanate specifically, I guess they're both thiocarbonyl compounds? The text that was added is actually also a WP:COPYVIO for Encyclopedia Britannica, and the same information about vulcanization is on the article thiuram disulfide, where it's relevant.-- Patrick, _oѺ^∞ 21:44, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Nothing needs to be changed then. Invasive Spices (talk) 23:15, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
