Performance of generalist and specialist herbivores and their endoparasitoids differs on cultivated and wild Brassica populations [PDF]
Through artificial selection, domesticated plants often contain modified levels of primary and secondary metabolites compared to their wild progenitors.

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (cause of black rot of crucifers) in the genomic era is still a worldwide threat to brassica crops [PDF]
Background Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) (Pammel) Dowson is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes black rot, the most important disease of vegetable brassica crops worldwide. Intensive molecular investigation of Xcc is gaining momentum and

Shoot yield drives phosphorus use efficiency in Brassica oleracea and correlates with root architecture traits [PDF]
The environmental and financial costs of using inorganic phosphate fertilizers to maintain crop yield and quality are high. Breeding crops that acquire and use phosphorus (P) more efficiently could reduce these costs.

Understanding of MYB Transcription Factors Involved in Glucosinolate Biosynthesis in Brassicaceae
Glucosinolates (GSLs) are widely known secondary metabolites that have anticarcinogenic and antioxidative activities in humans and defense roles in plants of the Brassicaceae family. Some R2R3-type MYB (myeloblastosis) transcription factors (TFs) control

Functional alleles of the flowering time regulator FRIGIDA in the Brassica oleracea genome [PDF]
Background Plants adopt different reproductive strategies as an adaptation to growth in a range of climates. In Arabidopsis thaliana FRIGIDA (FRI) confers a vernalization requirement and thus winter annual habit by increasing the expression of the MADS ...

Genome-wide evolution and expression analysis of the MYB-CC gene family in Brassica spp. [PDF]
The MYB-CC family is a subtype within the MYB superfamily. This family contains an MYB domain and a predicted coiled-coil (CC) domain. Several MYB-CC transcription factors are involved in the plant’s adaptability to low phosphate (Pi) stress.

Hotspots of Independent and Multiple Rounds of LTR-retrotransposon Bursts in Brassica Species
Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are a predominant group of plant transposable elements (TEs) that are an important component of plant genomes. A large number of LTR-RTs have been annotated in the genomes of the agronomically important oil
