URL: http://link.springer.com/journal/volumesAndIssues/606 Note: this study examined 108 species in 35 genera to investigate chromosome number evolution in tribe Brassiceae and to test three hypotheses, one of which was that genera with n=7-13 display the expected number of isozymes for diploid taxa; it used one non-USDA accession (GCC 4068-76) to represent subsp. fruticulosa; it found that this subspecies had duplication in two loci (Pgm-2 & Tpi-1) that were also observed in most Brassicaceae taxa, although only Pgm-2 was also detected in some of the outgroups, and both loci allowed the support of the monophyly of the tribe Brassiceae; it also found that the isozyme numbers of genera with n=7-13 were similar to those genera with n=14-18 suggesting that the latter taxa did not arise from polyploidy of the n=7-13 genomes

Note: this study evaluated 16 Brassica species for resistance to cabbage root fly (Delia radicum) testing egg-laying preferences; it tested four accessions of B. fruticulosa (CA 91082, CA 94017, CA 94018 & CA 94019, the latter used to be available at the USDA as AMES 23086); this study identified some accessions that were resistant to larvae and pupae infestation under field conditions, one accession of B. fruticulosa subsp. fruticulosa (CA 94019) scored high antibiosis resistance; greenhouse experiments revealed that all four accessions of B. fruticulosa possessed high levels of resistance; this species is also resistant to cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae); this study also noted that B. fruticulosa is a FF genome carrier and hybrids with B. oleracea cannot be obtained through conventional crosses

Note: this review compiled information both on experimental and spontaneous crosses between crops and wild relatives; it reported some hybrid production in crosses between Brassica fruticulosa and B. rapa, the latter as the male parent, and failed crosses with B. juncea and one success in crosses with B. napus as male donor

Taxon 41:477-483. URL: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/iapt/tax Note: this study examined 29 taxa of the tribe Brassicinae to clarify their phylogenetic affinities; it used one accession representing this diploid subspecies; this study found that Diplotaxis, Erucastrum and Brassica did not overlap, however they show high affinities revealing that they form a natural assemblage; Brassica fruticulosa subsp. fruticulosa clustered near B. maurorum and B. spinescens and apart from tetraploid members of its species

URL: http://link.springer.com/journal/volumesAndIssues/10722 Note: this study examined both cultivated and wild accessions of 25 taxa in order to characterize fatty acid composition of the seed oil, and to develop a calibration equation for the Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy measurements to estimate reliably the fatty acid composition; it recognized that for establishing fatty acid values from individuals to taxa four additional ratios had to be used allowing estimation of fat acid biosynthetic pathways; Brassica fruticulosa subsp. fruticulosa was represented by seven accessions; it found that the whole species showed low values for linolenic acid and intermediate values of erucic acid, both fatty acids with industrial applications
