(Pb), a causal agent of blackleg of rapeseed, is composed of several subspecies, including 'australensis' (Pba), 'brassicae' (Pbb) and 'canadensis' (Pbc). Besides rapeseed, Pb can infect many wild cruciferous plants (WCPs), such as flixweed () and pennycress (), which may become the infection source for blackleg of rapeseed. However, Pb on WCPs has not been well investigated in China.

- Safflower is cultivated for its seeds and flowers, notable for linoleic acid in seeds and hydroxysafflor yellow A in flowers, which have industrial and medicinal uses.
- Researchers sequenced and assembled the genome of the safflower variety 'Chuanhonghua 1', yielding a 1.17-Gb assembly that improves understanding of genetic traits important for quality and breeding.
- The study identified key genes related to lipid biosynthesis and conducted a genome-wide association study on 220 safflower lines, pinpointing specific SNPs linked to important agronomic traits, providing a valuable resource for future research and breeding efforts.
The WRKY family is an important family of transcription factors in plant development and stress response. Currently, there are few reports on the WRKY gene family in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.).
