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.

Predation drives specialized host plant associations in preadapted milkweed bugs (Heteroptera: Lygaeinae)

G. Petschenka, R. Halitschke, A. Roth, S. Stiehler, L. Tenbusch, T. Züst, C. Hartwig, J. F. Moreno Gamez, R. Trusch, J. Deckert, K. Chalusova, A. Vilcinskas, A. Exnerova

The paper shows that predation pressure drives host plant specialization in milkweed bugs by selecting for toxin sequestration abilities, even when new toxins are not exploited.

Rapid and independent evolution of ancestral and novel defenses in a genus of toxic plants (Erysimum, Brassicaceae)

T. Züst, S. R. Strickler, A. F. Powell, M. E. Mabry, H. An, M. Mirzaei, T. York, C. K. Holland, P. Kumar, M. Erb, G. Petschenka, J.-M. Gomez, F. Perfectti, C. Mueller, C. Pires, , G. Jander

The paper examines the evolution of chemical defenses in Erysimum plants, finding that ancestral and novel defenses evolved independently without trade-offs.
