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.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A key challenge for the genetic improvement of canola (Brassica napus), one of the world's most important oilseeds, is the limited natural variation for commercially important traits. The creation of new variation is hindered by the lack of functional knowledge about genes controlling these traits.

Evolutionary interplay between sister cytochrome P450 genes shapes plasticity in plant metabolism
Nature Communications, 2016 Genes in the cytochrome P450 family have evolved a wide range of functions. Here, Liu et al. reconstruct the evolution of the P450 genes CYP98A8 and CYP98A9in the Brassicales, revealing a complex history of retrotransposition, tandem duplication and ...

Adaptation of flea beetles to Brassicaceae: host plant associations and geographic distribution of Psylliodes Latreille and Phyllotreta Chevrolat (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2019 The cosmopolitan flea beetle genera Phyllotreta and Psylliodes (Galerucinae, Alticini) are mainly associated with host plants in the family Brassicaceae and include economically important pests of crucifer crops.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3603-3612, April 2026.The flea beetle's glucosinolate‐based chemical defense fails to protect larvae from nematode infection. However, the defense inhibits the nematode's symbiotic bacteria, thereby potentially impairing nematode reproduction and biocontrol success. Abstract BACKGROUND The efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the biological control of insect ...

The role of Alpine botanical gardens in integrating germplasm bank collections and mission
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 680-692, March 2026.This study underscores the vital role of Alpine botanical gardens (ABGs) in safeguarding Europe's alpine biodiversity amid climate change and habitat loss. By acting as living laboratories and reservoirs of plant genetic resources, ABGs bridge ex situ and in situ conservation, supporting ecosystem resilience and informing restoration strategies.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1712-1727, March 2026.ABSTRACT Gene pyramiding in crop varieties offers a promising strategy to achieve sustainable production and reduce reliance on pesticides. However, stacking resistance genes without understanding their biological functions may result in transient protection.

Extreme environments in a world of new extremes
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Extreme environments, whether defined by climate, soils, or disturbance, at landscape or micro‐scales, are prevalent across Earth's surface and have long served as crucibles for ecological and evolutionary insights. Many foundational theories were developed in deserts, cliffs, ultramafic soils, and other harsh systems.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Stable isotope analysis (SIA) is widely used to reconstruct food webs, characterize trophic relationships, and estimate dietary composition. However, bulk tissue SIA (BSIA) can yield imprecise estimates when dietary sources are isotopically similar.
