Unexpected Dual Function of Plant YUCCA Enzymes Links Chlorophyll Catabolism to Auxin Homeostasis
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.YUCCA enzymes are well known to catalyze the main step of auxin biosynthesis in plants. Here, a hitherto undescribed dual function was discovered, revealing that some YUCCAs also act in chlorophyll degradation. In vitro feedback regulation furthermore suggests a link between chlorophyll degradation and hormone homeostasis and a physiological role of ...

Pollen–Stigma Adhesion in Brassica spp Involves SLG and SLR1 Glycoproteins [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1999 The adhesion of pollen grains to the stigma is the first step of pollination in flowering plants. During this step, stigmas discriminate between pollen grains that can and cannot be permitted to effect fertilization. This selection is operated by various constituents of the cell walls of both partners.

Evidence for suppression of immunity as a driver for genomic introgressions and host range expansion in races of Albugo candida, a generalist parasite [PDF]
, 2015 How generalist parasites with wide host ranges can evolve is a central question in parasite evolution. Albugo candida is an obligate biotrophic parasite that consists of many physiological races that each specialize on distinct Brassicaceae host species.

Pathogenicity of Phytophthora capsici to Brassica Vegetable Crops and Biofumigation Cover Crops (Brassica spp.) [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2015 The soilborne oomycete Phytophthora capsici causes root, crown, and fruit rot of many vegetable crops in the Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae families. P. capsici is a persistent problem in vegetable fields due to long-lived oospores that survive in soil and resist weathering and degradation. Vegetable crops in the Brassicaceae family have been considered

Seed-vernalization of the cabbages (Brassica oleracea spp.). I
Engei Gakkai zasshi, 1961 1. During 1959_??_1960, an experiment was conducted for examining the response of a cabbage variety (Yoshin) to seed-vernalization. 2. Seeds vernalized at 1 ± 1°C for 20 days were sown along with untreated control seeds four times at 10-day intervals from March 14 to April 13, 1959.
