β-Cyanoalanine Synthases and Their Possible Role in Pierid Host Plant Adaptation
Insects, 2017 Cyanide is generated in larvae of the glucosinolate-specialist Pieris rapae (Lepidoptera:Pieridae) upon ingestion of plant material containing phenylalanine-derived glucosinolates as chemical defenses.

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 ...

Trap Crops and Insectary Plants in the Order Brassicales [PDF]
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2018 AbstractThis paper reviews the most important cases of trap crops and insectary plants in the order Brassicales. Most trap crops in the order Brassicales target insects that are specialist in plants belonging to this order, such as the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L.

Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...

Development and survival of Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on Eucalyptus genotypes
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.This study provides the first experimental evidence of the biological performance of Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 on Eucalyptus genotypes. Development time was shortest and viability highest on soybean compared with the evaluated Eucalyptus genotypes. B. tabaci MEAM1 completed its development on Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus ...

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 ...

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.Potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs) bioaccumulated across a plant‐herbivore‐predator food chain. Irrespective of soil concentrations, female crickets actively selected PTM‐enriched leaves, while predatory mantids showed no developmental impairment. Trophic transfer of PTMs was rather influenced more by a function of intrinsic species traits than by ...
