Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

Winter oilseed rape in Europe suffers frequent pathogen losses. This review outlines key integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, rotation, residue and tillage management, optimized sowing, resistance, and targeted fungicides supported by forecasting.

Ecology and evolution of sterols in pollen and wild bees
Bees are reliant on flowers for their dietary intake of protein and fats. This includes sterols which act as essential membrane components and hormone precursors in insects.

This graphical abstract illustrates how quantitative resistance to Leptosphaeria maculans in canola is experimentally estimated through multi‐environment replicated trials measuring crown canker severity. Genotype, environment and pathogen sources feed into phenotyping, followed by variance partitioning using mixed models and beta regression to ...

This study demonstrates that Brassica napus lines with Sinapis alba introgressions enhanced resistance against Phyllotreta cruciferae, resulting in reduced feeding damage and improved seedling physiological performance. The introgressed lines showed strong potential as genetic resources for developing more resilient and sustainable canola varieties ...

Insect pests in Brassica napus crops: toward ecologically optimized integrated pest management
Ecologically optimized IPM: Integrating landscape, biological, and chemical strategies for enhanced pest management. Key findings: Optimizing canola IPM requires the deliberate alignment of habitat diversification, behavioral conditioning, and evolutionary processes.

When is a Cliche not a Cliche? Reconsidering Mass-Produced Sunsets
Sunsets are everywhere. Nightly they appear, vast and humbling, orange, pink and purple. Like snowflakes, it is said that every single one is different. Natural, ephemeral and beautiful, they constitute exactly the kind of subject that prompts people to ...

Using cellular phenotyping and resistance profiling, we show that herbicides across the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) Groups 3 and 23 induce indistinguishable, dose‐dependent microtubule defects. Resistance patterns, rather than cellular phenotypes, reveal distinct sites of action and support reclassifying Group 3 as α‐tubulin binders ...

Identifying resistance‐conferring cytochrome P450s requires integrating weed characterization, gene discovery and functional validation. No single approach is sufficient to distinguish causal resistance genes from herbicide‐metabolizing enzymes. Abstract Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) play a pivotal role in metabolic herbicide resistance, yet ...
