Attraction of cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) to host plant odors
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus, OSR) cultivation in Europe is threatened by the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala, CSFB). Limited management options due to resistance and environmental concerns necessitate innovative control strategies. This study explores CSFB responses to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by host and non‐host ...

A comparison of Olpidium isolates from a range of host plants using internal transcribed spacer sequence analysis and host range studies [PDF]
Olpidium brassicae is a ubiquitous obligate root-infecting fungal pathogen. It is an important vector of a wide range of plant viruses. Olpidium isolates that infected brassica plants did not infect lettuce plants and vice-versa.

An enzyme involved in vitamin B2 biosynthesis, 3,4‐dihydroxy‐2‐butanone‐4‐phosphate synthase (DHBPS), was identified as the target of the natural product phosphonothrixin, representing a novel mode of action for herbicides. Abstract BACKGROUND In our ongoing search for new and environmentally friendly chemical entities that can control weeds via new ...

Forage Brassica Variety Trial [PDF]
Forage brassicas can provide a near-concentrate type diet late in the grazing season. This allows for an extra grazing opportunity after summer annuals are harvested or to supplement perennial cool season pasture during the fall months.

Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum
Laboratory measures of sorghum direct and indirect plant resistance traits aligned with natural enemy recruitment and pest suppression in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND A promising strategy to optimize biological control of insect pests is selecting crop varieties with indirect defense traits.

Brassica L., Sp. Pl.: 666. 1753. Tribe: Brassiceae DC. Notes. – The tribe Brassiceae is notoriously complex, and none of the current molecular phylogenetic studies provided satisfactory data that agree with the current generic delimitation based solely on morphology (see WARWICK & SAUDER, 2005; WARWICK & HALL, 2009; ARIAS & PIRES, 2012; ARIAS et al ...

Heterothallism in Pyrenopeziza brassicae, cause of light leaf spot of brassicas
The control of sexual reproduction in Pyrenopeziza brassicae was investigated by pairing single-spore isolates in conidial suspensions and culturing these on nutrient agar. The results demonstrated that P. brassicae is heterothallic, with two mating types.
