Abstract Biofumigation with brassica cover crops (BCCs) is gaining momentum in the United States as an ecologically sound alternative to chemical pest suppression in agricultural systems. This review critically evaluates the impacts of Brassica species on soil health, weed suppression, disease mitigation, and control of plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs)

Root and shoot glucosinolates: a comparison of their diversity, function and interactions in natural and managed ecosystems [PDF]
The role of glucosinolates in aboveground plant¿insect and plant¿pathogen interactions has been studied widely in both natural and managed ecosystems. Fewer studies have considered interactions between root glucosinolates and soil organisms.

Metabolic changes in Agrobacterium tumefaciens-infected Brassica rapa
Agrobacterium has the ability to transfer its genetic material, T-DNA, into the plant genome. The unique interaction between the bacterium and its host plant has been well studied at the transcriptome, but not at the metabolic level. For a better understanding of this interaction it is necessary to investigate the metabolic changes of the host plant ...

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers
Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

BINge: Multispecies Ortholog Clustering for Differential Gene Expression Analyses
ABSTRACT Differential gene expression (DGE) analysis enables researchers to investigate the link between gene expression and the phenotypic responses observed in organisms across time, experimental, or field conditions. Accurate quantification of gene expression is essential when performing DGE experiments, with a range of methods having been developed
