    1. Expression of glucosinolate (GLS) importers GTR1 and GTR2 inside the stele, along with earlier observations, suggest three possible routes of stele-synthesized aliphatic GLS after their synthesis: (i) GTR-dependent import to cells symplastically connected to cortical cells and rhizosphere; (ii) GTR-independent transport via xylem to the shoot; and (iii) GTR-dependent import to GLS-degrading myrosin cells at the cortex.
