A thylakoid-bound enzyme-complex which consists of PAL and benzoate synthase responsible for the chain-shortening from phenylalanine to BA, has been reported in prokaryotic algae such as Anacystis nidulans [50]. Furthermore, it was found that chloroplasts and thylakoids of higher plant such as Nasturtium officinale, Astibel chinensis and Hydrangea macrophylla have the capacity to catalyze the degradation of phenylalanine to BA in vitro. This enzyme-complex is able to utilize L-phenylalanine more efficiently as a substrate than exogenously supplied CA [51]. However, such an enzyme activity has not yet been detected in tobacco.

Other cruciferous vegetables may be used in the human diet either as condiments, as it is the case of Sinapis alba (white mustard) or as salad crops, such as Nasturtium officinale (watercress), Eruca sativa (salad rocket), and Diplotaxis tenuifolia (wild rocket). These species are eaten all over the world in salads and soups. Predominantly, the leaves of these species are eaten raw or cooked, although Eruca and D. catholica flowers are also consumed. Other species from Diplotaxis genus such as D. acris and D. simplex have been reported to be edible components of green salads in North Africa, Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan. Finally, other crops can be used because of their roots, as it is the case of Raphanus sativus (radish), which is an important vegetable crop worldwide, especially in China, Japan, Korea, and Southeastern Asia.
