An integrative strategy used by the aphid Uroleucon formosanum to counter host sesquiterpene lactone defense: Insights from combined genomic and transcriptomic analysis

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We report the first high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly for the aphid Uroleucon formosanum, a serious pest that infests lettuce in eastern Asia. A combination of comparative genomic analyses and RNA‐seq transcriptome profiling suggests that U. formosanum employs integrative mechanisms to cope with host plant‐derived sesquiterpene lactone (STL)

A systems biology approach identifies a R2R3 MYB gene subfamily with distinct and overlapping functions in regulation of aliphatic glucosinolates.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
BackgroundGlucosinolates are natural metabolites in the order Brassicales that defend plants against both herbivores and pathogens and can attract specialized insects. Knowledge about the genes controlling glucosinolate regulation is limited.

Insect attraction versus plant defense: young leaves high in glucosinolates stimulate oviposition by a specialist herbivore despite poor larval survival due to high saponin content. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Glucosinolates are plant secondary metabolites used in plant defense. For insects specialized on Brassicaceae, such as the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L.

Isolation of glucosinolate degrading microorganisms and their potential for reducing the glucosinolate content of rapemeal [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 1994
A range of microorganisms were assessed for their ability to degrade glucosinolates, using sinigrin (2-propenyl glucosinolate) as a model compound. Eight different species capable of growing on sinigrin as a sole carbon source were isolated. These were predominantly Gram-positive bacteria which also degraded the natural glucosinolates within rapemeal ...

Simultaneous Quantification of 22 Glucosinolates in 12 Brassicaceae Vegetables by Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry

open access: yesACS Omega, 2018
Glucosinolates, which are unique to Brassicaceae vegetables, have diverse biological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer actions.

Understanding the impact of host plant factors on the oviposition behaviour of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala)

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is an important pest of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in Europe. The objective of the present study was to gain a better understanding of host plant related factors affecting its oviposition behaviour with the aim of developing new sustainable control strategies.

Biochemical mechanism of resistance in some Brassica genotypes against Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) (Homoptera: Aphididae) [PDF]

open access: yesVegetos 2017, 26(2): 387-395, 2017
Two years study was carried out during 2006-07 and 2007-08 crop seasons to study the response of different genotypes of oilseeds Brassica to Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) infestation both under field and screen house conditions and to find out the relationship of various biochemical constituents to aphid infestation.

Population dynamics of stubby root nematodes (Trichodorus and Paratrichodorus spp.) associated with ‘Docking disorder’ of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), in field rotations with cover crops in East England

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the population dynamics of stubby root nematodes (SRN) in field rotations with cover crops and the subsequent effect of this rotation on sugar beet quality and quantity attributes. It was clear that the SRN densities under field conditions are influenced by multiple factors, such as the type of cover crops grown, soil disturbance ...

Glucosinolate types and concentrations in seedlings of different Brassica species used for food [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Brassicaceous food crops contain in their tissues different quantities of the glucoside allelochemicals known as glucosinolates (Bellostas et al., 2004; Sørensen, 1990).

Systematic Study of the Content of Phytochemicals in Fresh and Fresh-Cut Vegetables [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Vegetables and fruits have beneficial properties for human health, because of the presence of phytochemicals, but their concentration can fluctuate throughout the year. A systematic study of the phytochemical content in tomato, eggplant, carrot, broccoli
