BACKGROUND: Brassica crops together with cereals represent the basis of world supplies. Due to their importance, the production losses caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) infection represent a high economic impact. Understanding molecular and biochemical mechani...
Oleamide, a fatty acid amide with potential bioactive properties against Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc), was evaluated for its impact on the metabolome of Brassica oleracea. Susceptible 'Early Big' plants at six weeks of age were pretreated with 60 µM oleamide. Twenty-four hours afte...
Plants synchronize their immune responses with the circadian cycle, yet the impact of diurnal timing on disease resistance remains poorly understood in crop species. In this study, we investigated how diurnal variation modulates defense responses in Brassica oleracea against Xanthomonas campestris p...
Deep sequencing of mRNA from seven different tissues of Brassica oleracea Analysis of ploy(A)+ RNA of multiple different tissues of Brassica oleracea containing Bud, Callus, Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower and Silique.
Plant-microbe interactions in the phyllosphere have been demonstrated to facilitate plant growth and enhance resistance to diverse stresses; nevertheless, their role in the bioaccumulation of contaminants by plants is rarely considered. Here, by comparing differences in the phyllosphere morpholog...
Deep sequencing of mRNA from six different tissues Analysis of poly(A)+ RNA of multiple different tissues of Brassica rapa containing Callus, Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower and Silique.
Bee pollen is consumed for its nutritional and pharmacological benefits, but it also contains hazardous allergens which has not been identified. Here, we identified 2 potential allergens, glutaredoxin and oleosin-B2, in Brassica napus (B. napus) bee pollen using mass spectrometr...
UV-B radiation regulates numerous morphogenic, biochemical and physiological responses in plants, and can stimulate some responses typically associated with other abiotic and biotic stimuli, including invertebrate herbivory. Removal of UV-B from the growing environment of various plant species ha...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified thousands of genetic loci associated with complex plant traits, including many traits of agronomical importance. However, functional interpretation of GWAS results remains challenging because of large candidate regions due to linkage disequilibriu...
