In crucifer cytogenomics, BAC contigs of Arabidopsis thaliana have been used as probes for comparative chromosome painting among species. Here we successfully tested chromosome-specific BAC contigs of A. thaliana (n = 5) and A. halleri (n = 8) as probes for reciprocal BAC painting. Furthermore, BAC contigs of both Arabidopsis species were applied as multi-species painting probes to a third cruc...

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, a plant-associated pathogenic bacterium, is the causal agent of foliar spots and blights in crucifers. The major outer membrane protein, Omp37, of 37 kDa, has been identified, purified to homogeneity, and its characterization has also been carried out. Native Omp37 behaved as a trimer, as revealed by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE. FTIR measurements revealed ...

Abstract Blackleg (stem canker) of crucifers is a globally important disease caused by multiple genetic subclades the fungi Plenodomus lingam (syn.: Leptosphaeria maculans ) and biglobosus biglobosa ). In our study, we monitored geographical distribution these two pathogen species from rapeseed growing areas in Hungary. Multiplex PCR identified 48.7% isolates as , which indicates non-recent int...

The most pervasive and harmful illness is cruciferous black spot disease. This disease starts to show symptoms as soon the seed emerges from soil continues all through growth season. In regions designated for seeds, cabbages left storage, areas planted human consumption, seen. Alternaria mostly affects plants’ organs responsible generating it severely damages pods seeds. leaves bulbs of crucife...

The host ranges of several insects that are specialists on crucifers (Brassicaceae) are closely linked to the presence of glucosinolates in these plants. These glycosides often serve as stimulants for oviposition and/or feeding, while their volatile hydrolysis products may be attractants for several species. However, many crucifers produce additional secondary compounds that act as repellents, ...
