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.

Switchgrass Steroidal Saponins Reduce Fungal Disease but Decrease Yeast Fermentation Yield

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
Yeast fermentation of switchgrass biomass is inhibited for certain genotypes, especially those with high concentrations of steroidal saponins that protect against fungal disease. Inhibition can be reversed through (1) ergosterol addition, (2) fermentation with the bacterium Zymonomas mobilis, or (3) in different collection years.

Cleomaceae: diversity and potential of a model family for studies on the evolution of photosynthesis

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 6-17, January 2026.
The Cleomaceae family integrates floral diversity, physiological plasticity, and the evolution of C4 photosynthesis, serving as an important model to investigate plant adaptation and evolutionary innovation. Abstract Understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which plants adapt to environmental factors is essential for improving crop ...

Evolution of Repetitive Genomic Content and Gene Families Over Geo‐Climatic Gradients in Brassicaceae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Along temperature gradients such as elevation and latitude, species typically occupy distinct ranges, and life at the extremes may come with adaptive and non‐adaptive genomic changes. In the Brassicaceae family, comparative genomics revealed that geo‐climatic factors strongly predict genome size and transposable element (TE) content, explaining up to ...

Anatomy And Morphology Of Bracts And Bracteoles In Order Brassicales

, 2012
The results of comparisons of the anatomy and morphology of the leaves, bracts and bracteoles within representatives of the order Brassicales indicate similarity of bracts and leaves, as well as the similarity between bracteoles and stipules. This is evidence in favor of homologous leaf and bracts, and stipules and bracteoles.

Reassessing Interkingdom Horizontal Gene Transfer Suggests Limited Influence on Plant Genomes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been proposed as an important contributor to plant genome evolution, with hundreds of candidate genes reported across kingdoms. By reanalyzing published cases with updated genomic data and phylogenetic reconstructions, we found that only 29.3% remain consistent with interkingdom HGT.

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.
