Schematic illustration of vernalization-mediated suppression of GSLs pathway genes and corresponding GSLs compounds in radish plants. The aliphatic and indolic GSLs contents non-vernalized radish plants increased with plant age (2–12 weeks). Vernalization suppressed the biosynthesis of aliphatic and indolic GSLs by suppressing the expression of GSLs pathway genes at the transcriptional level.
