Open AccessGenetic variation and structural diversity in major seed proteins among and within Camelina species
Genetic variation in seed protein composition, seed protein gene expression and predictions of seed protein physiochemical properties were documented in C. sativa and other Camelina species.

Open AccessHairy Canola (Brasssica napus) re-visited: Down-regulating TTG1 in an AtGL3-enhanced hairy leaf background improves growth, leaf trichome coverage, and metabolite gene expression diversity
Through evolution, some plants have developed natural resistance to insects by having hairs (trichomes) on leaves and other tissues. The hairy trait has been neglected in Brassica breeding programs, which main...

Brassica villosa, a system for studying non-glandular trichomes and genes in the Brassicas
Brassica villosa is a wild Brassica C genome species with very dense trichome coverage and strong resistance to many insect pests of Brassica oilseeds and vegetables. Transcriptome analysis of ha...

Open AccessDe novo sequence assembly of Albugo candida reveals a small genome relative to other biotrophic oomycetes
Albugo candida is a biotrophic oomycete that parasitizes various species of Brassicaceae, causing a disease (white blister rust) with remarkable convergence in behaviour to unrelated rusts of basidiomycete fungi.

Characterization of the anti-fungal activity of a Bacillus spp. associated with sclerotia from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum fruiting bodies (sclerotia) were found to harbour bacteria that possess anti-fungal activity. Among 1,140 bacterial isolates collected, 32 were found to inhibit the growth of four common ...

Molecular characterization of Brassica napus NAC domain transcriptional activators induced in response to biotic and abiotic stress
Subtractive expressed sequence tag analysis and screening of cDNA libraries derived from Brassica napus leaves subjected to mechanical wounding, flea beetle feeding or cold temperatures revealed eight genes encod...
