Integrative Analysis of Oleosin Genes Provides Insights into Lineage-Specific Family Evolution in Brassicales. [PDF]
Oleosins (OLEs) are a class of small but abundant structural proteins that play essential roles in the formation and stabilization of lipid droplets (LDs) in seeds of oil crops.

Emergence of isochorismate-based salicylic acid biosynthesis within Brassicales. [PDF]
Salicylic acid (SA) is a major defense phytohormone. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the isochorismate (IC) pathway is the primary route for pathogen-induced SA biosynthesis.

Co-option and neofunctionalization of stomatal executors for defence against herbivores in Brassicales. [PDF]
Co-option of gene regulatory networks leads to the acquisition of new cell types and tissues. Stomata, valves formed by guard cells (GCs), are present in most land plants and regulate CO2 exchange. The transcription factor (TF) FAMA globally regulates GC

Comparative Nectary Morphology across Cleomaceae (Brassicales) [PDF]
Floral nectaries have evolved multiple times and rapidly diversified with the adaptive radiation of animal pollinators. As such, floral nectaries exhibit extraordinary variation in location, size, shape, and secretory mechanism.

Impacts of Sulfur on Glucosinolate Metabolism: From <i>Arabidopsis</i> to Wild Brassicales. [PDF]
Glucosinolates (GSLs), sulfur-containing secondary metabolites produced by cruciferous plants, act as sulfur (S) stores, repel pests, and exhibit cancer-preventive properties in humans.

Multiple glutathione-S-transferases detoxify diverse glucosinolate-based defenses of Brassicales plants in a generalist lepidopteran herbivore (Spodoptera littoralis). [PDF]
Brassicales plants defend themselves with glucosinolates that, upon herbivory, are hydrolyzed into toxic isothiocyanates (ITCs) and other derivatives. The side chain diversity of glucosinolates results in a range of structurally distinct products, but ...
