The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, is the main virus vector in sugar beet. We examine its performance on potential winter hosts as well as the host selection and overwintering success of anholicyclic aphids in order to improve forecasting models for virus outbreaks through targeted monitoring of suitable winter hosts. Abstract Virus yellows (VY) is

Progress and problems in the assessment of flower morphology in higher-level systematics [PDF]
Floral features used for characterization of higher-level angiosperm taxa (families, orders, and above) are assessed following a comparison of earlier (precladistic/premolecular) and current classifications.

Taste and flavour perceptions of glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, and related compounds [PDF]
Brassicaceae plants are renowned for their taste, aroma and trigeminal characteristics; predominantly bitter taste, sulfurous aroma and pungency. Compounds responsible for these sensations include the glucosinolates (GSLs) and their hydrolysis products ...

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.

Extrapolating demography with climate, proximity and phylogeny: approach with caution [PDF]
Plant population responses are key to understanding the effects of threats such as climate change and invasions. However, we lack demographic data for most species, and the data we have are often geographically aggregated.

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.

Aversion and attraction to harmful plant secondary compounds jointly shape the foraging ecology of a specialist herbivore. [PDF]
Most herbivorous insect species are restricted to a narrow taxonomic range of host plant species. Herbivore species that feed on mustard plants and their relatives in the Brassicales have evolved highly efficient detoxification mechanisms that actually ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coevolutionary arms races between plants and insects, in which gains of novel plant defences select for counteradaptations in herbivores, are key drivers of biodiversity.

ER bodies in plants of the Brassicales order: biogenesis and association with innate immunity [PDF]
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms highly organized network structures composed of tubules and cisternae. Many plant species develop additional ER-derived structures, most of which are specific for certain groups of species. In particular, a rod-shaped structure designated as the ER body is produced by plants of the Brassicales order, which includes ...

Evolutionary origins of abnormally large shoot sodium accumulation in non-saline environments within the Caryophyllales [PDF]
The prevalence of sodium (Na) “hyperaccumulator” species, which exhibit abnormally large shoot sodium concentrations ([Na]shoot) when grown in non-saline environments, was investigated among angiosperms in general and within the Caryophyllales order in ...
