Four enzymes control natural variation in the steroid core of Erysimum cardenolides

G. C. Younkin, M. L. Alani, T. Züst, G. Jander

The paper identifies four enzymes that control stereochemistry at carbon 5 of cardenolides in Erysimum, showing how natural variation in one enzyme explains structural diversity in these defensive compounds.

Aphid resistance segregates independently of cardiac glycoside and glucosinolate content in an Erysimum cheiranthoides (wormseed wallflower) F2 population

M. Mirzaei, G. C. Younkin, A. F. Powell, M. L. Alani, S. R. Strickler, G. Jander

The paper examines aphid resistance in Erysimum cheiranthoides by analyzing the relationship between defensive metabolites and resistance traits in an F2 population.

Cardiac glycosides protect wormseed wallflower (Erysimum cheiranthoides) against some, but not all, glucosinolate-adapted herbivores

G. C. Younkin, M. L. Alani, A. Paez Capador, H. D. Fischer, M. Mirzaei, A. P. Hastings, A. Agrawal, G. Jander

The paper investigates how cardiac glycosides in Erysimum cheiranthoides affect herbivore interactions, finding they protect against some but not all glucosinolate-tolerant herbivores.

Acropetal and basipetal cardenolide transport in Erysimum cheiranthoides (wormseed wallflower)

M. L. Alani, G. C. Younkin, M. Mirzaei, P. Kumar, G. Jander

This study investigates cardenolide transport patterns in Erysimum cheiranthoides, finding maternal control of seed cardenolides and root cardenolide profiles determined by aboveground genotype.
