Comparative phylogenetics of repetitive elements in a diverse order of flowering plants (Brassicales) [PDF]
G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2021 Abstract Genome sizes of plants have long piqued the interest of researchers due to the vast differences among organisms. However, the mechanisms that drive size differences have yet to be fully understood. Two important contributing factors to genome size are expansions of repetitive elements, such as transposable elements (TEs), and ...

Ecosphere, 2020 Most terrestrial plants form mycorrhizas, but a number of agricultural plants, including the Brassicaceae, are non‐mycorrhizal. Brassicaceae can still be colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), but species like Arabidopsis thaliana experience ...

Specialized Vacuoles of Myrosin Cells: Chemical Defense Strategy in Brassicales Plants [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2018 Plant vacuoles display many versatile functions. Vacuoles in vegetative tissues are generally involved in protein degradation, and are called lytic vacuoles. However, vegetative vacuoles in specialized cells can accumulate large concentrations of proteins, such as those in idioblast myrosin cells along veins in the order Brassicales, which store large ...

Chemodiversity Studies on Exudate Flavonoids of Cleomaceae species (Brassicales) [PDF]
Natural Product Communications, 2007 Seven species of the genus Cleome were analysed for formation of exudate flavonoids. The majority of structures found were polymethoxyflavonols with 6- and/or 8- O-substitution. A novel compound, isolated from C. felina, was determined to be 5,3′,4′-triOH-3,6,7,5′-tetraOMe-flavone (1), and a further novel compound, 5,3′-diOH-3,7,8,4′,5′-pentaOMe ...

Origin and evolution of transporter substrate specificity within the NPF family
eLife, 2017 Despite vast diversity in metabolites and the matching substrate specificity of their transporters, little is known about how evolution of transporter substrate specificities is linked to emergence of substrates via evolution of biosynthetic pathways ...

Glucosinolate Biosynthesis and the Glucosinolate–Myrosinase System in Plant Defense
Agronomy, 2020 Insect pests represent a major global challenge to important agricultural crops. Insecticides are often applied to combat such pests, but their use has caused additional challenges such as environmental contamination and human health issues.

Ontogenetic origins of floral bilateral symmetry in Moringaceae (Brassicales) [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2003 Floral morphology of the 13 species of Moringa ranges from actinomorphic flowers with little hypanthium to highly zygomorphic flowers with well‐developed hypanthia. Scanning electron and light microscopy were used to identify ontogenetic differences among two actinomorphic and eight zygomorphic species.

The Cell Differentiation of Idioblast Myrosin Cells: Similarities With Vascular and Guard Cells
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Idioblasts are defined by abnormal shapes, sizes, and contents that are different from neighboring cells. Myrosin cells are Brassicales-specific idioblasts and accumulate a large amount of thioglucoside glucohydrolases (TGGs, also known as myrosinases ...
