The "triangle of U" diagram, showing the genetic relationships among six species of the genus Brassica. Chromosomes from each of the genomes A, B and C are represented by different colours. The triangle of U (/ uː / OO) is a theory about the evolution and relationships among the six most commonly known members of the plant genus Brassica.
Wisconsin Fast Plants is the registered trademark for a cultivar of Brassica rapa, developed as a rapid life-cycle model organism for research and teaching. Wisconsin Fast Plants are a member of the Brassicaceae (formerly Cruciferae) family, closely related to the turnip and bok choy.
The genus Brassica is known for its important agricultural and horticultural crops and also includes a number of weeds, both of wild taxa and escapees from cultivation. Brassica species and varieties commonly used for food include bok choy , broccoli , cauliflower , cabbage , choy sum , kohlrabi , napa cabbage , rutabaga , turnip and some seeds ...
campestris, but causes a non-vascular leaf spot disease that is clearly distinct from black rot of brassicas. Leaf spot diseases of brassicas were associated with X. campestris pv. armoraciae (McCulloch) Dye or X. campestris pv. raphani (White) Dye. [1] [2] The leaf spot isolates most commonly found in brassicas have been identified as X ...
Xanthomonas campestris is commonly used industrially to produce a water-soluble exo-polysaccharide, known as xanthan gum, from fermentation of carbon sources like glucose. [5] In this process, a preserved culture of the gram-negative bacterium is expanded through growth and then used as an inoculum in bioreactors with liquid growth media .
Brassicaceae (/ ˌ b r æ s ɪ ˈ k eɪ s iː ˌ iː,-s i ˌ aɪ /) or (the older) Cruciferae (/ k r uː ˈ s ɪ f ər i /) [2] is a medium-sized and economically important family of flowering plants commonly known as the mustards, the crucifers, or the cabbage family.
Plant anatomy or phytotomy is the general term for the study of the internal structure of plants. Originally, it included plant morphology , the description of the physical form and external structure of plants, but since the mid-20th century, plant anatomy has been considered a separate field referring only to internal plant structure.
Black rot, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc), is considered the most important and most destructive disease of crucifers, infecting all cultivated varieties of brassicas worldwide. [1] [2] This disease was first described by botanist and entomologist Harrison Garman in Lexington, Kentucky, US in 1889. [3]
