Identification and improvement of isothiocyanate-based inhibitors on stomatal opening to act as drought tolerance-conferring agrochemicals

Nature Communications, 2023
Stomatal pores in the plant epidermis open and close to regulate gas exchange between leaves and the atmosphere. Upon light stimulation, the plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPase is phosphorylated and activated via an intracellular signal transduction pathway ...

Glucosinolate hydrolysis products suppress entomopathogenic nematodes in vitro but do not protect sequestering flea beetle larvae in vivo

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.

When Metabolomics Meets Quantitative Genetics: An Integrative Strategy to Elucidate Plant Resistance Mechanisms

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.

Evolution of specifier proteins in glucosinolate-containing plants

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background The glucosinolate-myrosinase system is an activated chemical defense system found in plants of the Brassicales order. Glucosinolates are stored separately from their hydrolytic enzymes, the myrosinases, in plant tissues.

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.

Tropaeolum tops tobacco - simple and efficient transgene expression in the order Brassicales.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Transient expression systems are valuable tools in molecular biology. Agrobacterial infiltration of leaves is well-established in tobacco, but has led to limited success in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.

Bulk tissue versus amino acid carbon stable isotopes to reveal the diet and basal resource use of an invasive rodent

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.

Myrosinase-dependent and –independent formation and control of isothiocyanate products of glucosinolate hydrolysis.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Brassicales contain a myrosinase enzyme that hydrolyzes glucosinolates to form toxic isothiocyanates, as a defense against bacteria, fungi, insects and herbivores including man.
