Abstract: Glucosinolates are important secondary metabolites found mainly in cruciferae plants. Their biological activities are due to hydrolysis products released by the action of myrosinase. In order to regulate and optimize the level of glucosinolates in the quest to improve plant nutritional qualities and to boost plant protection， the progresses on the molecular level of glucosinolates biosynthesis， degradation reaction and metabolism regulation and control were reviewed in this paper.
