Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) of Brassicaceae and their role in plant defense against insect herbivores – A review [PDF]
The genus Brassica includes economically important oilseed and vegetable plants. A number of insect pests are known to infest these crops and cause significant losses in yield.

Comparing the Effects of Mineral Compounds, Plant Extracts and Chemical Pesticides on Population Control of Different Life Stages of Cabbage Aphid Brevicoryne brassicae (Linnaeus) in Urban Green Space [PDF]
IntroductionCabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) (Aphididae: Hemiptera) is one of the important pests of cruciferous plants, which causes a lot of damage to plants of this family by feeding on plant sap and transmitting disease.

ABSTRACT Clubroot, a severe soil‐borne disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, poses a severe threat to global production of Brassicaceae oilseed crops and vegetables. To date, there has been a serious lack of clubroot‐resistant germplasms in Brassica napus (AACC), necessitating the urgent development of novel disease‐resistant germplasm.

ABSTRACT With climate change, abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and herbivory are predicted to further diminish agricultural productivity. Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill), a crop of global economic importance, is vulnerable to both. However, the interactive effects of drought and herbivory on soybeans haven't been explored, especially ...

Relative importance of biotic and abiotic soil components to plant growth and insect herbivore population dynamics [PDF]
Background: Plants are affected by several aspects of the soil, which have the potential to exert cascading effects on the performance of herbivorous insects. The effects of biotic and abiotic soil characteristics have however mostly been investigated in

How Cabbage Aphids Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) Make a Choice to Feed on Brassica napus Cultivars
Plant resistance to aphids might be present in different plant tissues, such as the epidermis, mesophyll and phloem, but not all of them play a key role in determining the feeding preference of aphids.

Organ‐specific terpenoid responses in Tanacetum vulgare are chemotype‐dependent
Common tansy varieties defend differently: some boost root chemicals against soil pests, while others release stronger leaf scents against aphids. Abstract Specialized metabolites such as terpenoids are known to mediate plant defence mechanisms. However, how terpenoid diversity governs inducible chemistry across organs remains poorly understood.

Organic Horticultural Seed Trials in Wales [PDF]
Under the organic standards, producers are required to use organic seed. However, a derogation can be obtained from the appropriate certification body that allows the use of (untreated) non organic seed where appropriate organic material is not available.

Impact of Simulated Insect Defoliation and Timing of Injury on Cabbage Yield in Minnesota [PDF]
In 1992 and 1994, field studies were done to assess the tolerance of transplanted cabbage to simulated insect defoliation and to determine if the defoliation level and growth stage at which defoliation begins influences final yield.
