From the methanol extract of Cardamine diphylla rhizome, 5'-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-dihydroascorbigen (1) and 6-hydroxyindole-3-carboxylic acid 6-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside (2) were isolated. The structures of the compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic methods. This is the second report on the presence of a glucosylated indole ascorbigen in plants.

We review glucosinolate (GSL) diversity and analyze phylogeny in the crucifer tribe Cardamineae as well as selected species from Brassicaceae (tribe Brassiceae) and Resedaceae. Some GSLs occur widely, while there is a scattered distribution of many less common GSLs, tentatively sorted into three classes: ancient, intermediate and more recently evolved. The number of conclusively identified GSLs in the tribe (53 GSLs) constitute 60% of all GSLs known with certainty from any plant (89 GSLs) and apparently unique GSLs in the tribe constitute 10 of those GSLs conclusively identified (19%).

As it pertains to insect herbivores, the preference-performance hypothesis posits that females will choose oviposition sites that maximize their offspring's fitness. However, both genetic and environmental cues contribute to oviposition preference, and occasionally "oviposition mistakes" occur, where insects oviposit on hosts unsuitable for larval development. Pieris virginiensis is a pierine butterfly native to North America that regularly oviposits on an invasive plant, Alliaria petiolata, but the caterpillars are unable to survive.

The Albuginaceae, responsible for white blister rust disease on various angiosperms, are obligate biotrophic oomycetes that are only distantly related to downy mildews (Peronosporaceae). Their diversity has been much underestimated during the past decades, mainly because of the paucity of morphological characters for species delimitation, which led to the application of a broad species concept. Recent phylogenetic analyses have revealed three new species within Albugo parasitic to Brassicaceae, but the overall evolution of these plant pathogens remains poorly understood.
