Arabidopsis myrosinases link the glucosinolate-myrosinase system and the cuticle.
Ahuja, Ishita; de Vos, RCH; Rohloff, Jens; Stoopen, G; Halle, Kari Krizak; Ahmad, SJN; Hoang, Linh; Hall, RD; Bones, Atle M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Both physical barriers and reactive phytochemicals represent two important components of a plant’s defence system against environmental stress. However, these two defence systems have generally been studied independently. ... -
Feeding of turnip root fly (Delia floralis) and cabbage root fly (Delia radicum) larvae on Brassica napus L. transgenic MINELESS plants – Effects on insect development
Bjørkman, Maria; Ahuja, Ishita; Folkedal Schjøll, Annette; Van Dam, Nicole; Bones, Atle M.; Meadow, Richard (Journal article, 2014)The dual component glucosinolate-myrosinase defence system is present in plants of the Brassicaceae. Upon insect attack, the defence system gets activated and forms glucosinolate hydrolysis products, which affect insect ... -
Gene mining for proline based signaling proteins in cell wall of Arabidopsis thaliana
Ihsan, Muhammad Z.; Ahmad, Samina Jam Nazeer; Shah, Zahid Hussain; Rehman, Hafiz M.; Aslam, Zubair; Ahuja, Ishita; Bones, Atle M.; Ahmad, Jam N. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The cell wall (CW) as a first line of defense against biotic and abiotic stresses is of primary importance in plant biology. The proteins associated with cell walls play a significant role in determining a plant's ... -
The imaging of guard cells of thioglucosidase (tgg) mutants of Arabidopsis further links plant chemical defence systems with physical defence barriers
Ahuja, Ishita; Kissen, Ralph; Hoang, Linh; Sporsheim, Bjørnar; Halle, Kari Krizak; Wolff, Silje Aase; Ahmad, Samina Jam Nazeer; Ahmad, Jam Nazeer; Bones, Atle M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The glucosinolate-myrosinase system is a well-known plant chemical defence system. Two functional myrosinase-encoding genes, THIOGLUCOSIDASE 1 (TGG1) and THIOGLUCOSIDASE 2 (TGG2), express in aerial tissues of Arabidopsis. ... -
Infection, genetic variation analysis and biology study of biocontrol agent Isturgia disputaria (Guenees) on Acia nilotica in Pakistan.
Ahmad, SJN; Ahmad, W; Majeed, D; Sufian, M; Sharif, MZ; Ali, A; Ahuja, Ishita; Bones, Atle M.; Ahmad, JN (Journal article, 2021)In Pakistan, Trees of Acacia nilotica are extremely valuable sources of fuel, small timber and have important pharmaceutical and medicinal value. But on the other hands, in Australia, Acacia nilotica subsp. indica is the ... -
Molecular Identification and Pathological Characteristics of NPV Isolated from Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) in Pakistan
Ahmad, Jam Nazeer; Mushtaq, Rashid; Ahmad, Samina Jam Nazeer; Maqsood, Sumaira; Ahuja, Ishita; Bones, Atle M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The cotton army worm Spodoptera litura Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a destructive pest of various field crops and vegetables in Pakistan. Development of biopesticide is an attractive strategy to minimize the ... -
'Myrosin cells' are not a prerequisite for aphid feeding on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) but affect host plant preferences
Borgen, Birgit Hafeld; Ahuja, Ishita; Thangstad, Ole Petter; Honne, Bjørn Ivar; Rohloff, Jens; Rossiter, John Trevor; Bones, Atle M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The enzyme myrosinase (EC 3.2.3.1.147) is present in specialised myrosin cells and forms part of the glucosinolate–myrosinase system, also known as ‘the mustard oil bomb’, which has an important role in the defence system ... -
Plant defence responses in oilseed rape MINELESS plants after attack by the cabbage moth Mamestra brassicae
Ahuja, Ishita; van Dam, Nicole; Winge, Per; Trælnes, Marianne; Heydorova, Aysel; Rohloff, Jens; Langaas, Mette; Bones, Atle M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The Brassicaceae family is characterized by a unique defence mechanism known as the ‘glucosinolate–myrosinase’ system. When insect herbivores attack plant tissues, glucosinolates are hydrolysed by the enzyme myrosinase (EC ... -
Stress responses induced by temperature and light conditions in Brassica napus
Negard, Ane (Master thesis, 2015)Brassica napus, also known as oilseed rape or canola, belongs to the family Brassicaceae. An important characteristic of Brassicaceae is the production of specific secondary metabolites, glucosinolates. Intact glucosinolates ... -
Studying attractiveness and defense responses of Brassica napus transgenic MINELESS plants to insects for pest management
Heydarova, Aysel (Master thesis, 2014)Glucosinolate myrosinase system is well-established defense mechanism against insect herbivores feed on plants from Brassicaceae family. This defense mechanism is also known as the mustard oil bomb which bring myrosinase ...
