The glucosinolate (GSL) profiles of wild-growing plants from the genus Hesperis, i.e. Hesperis laciniata All. (leaf, stem, flower, and root) from Croatia and Hesperis matronalis L. (leaf, stem, flower, seed, and root) from Canada, were established by LC-MS. During this investigation, 5-(methylsulfanyl)pentyl- (3), 6-(methylsulfanyl)hexyl- (4), 6-(methylsulfinyl)hexyl- (6), and 4'-α-l-rhamnopyranosyloxybenzyl- (17) GSLs were identified. In addition, the presence of 7-(methylsulfinyl)heptyl GSL (18), hydroxy-(α-l-rhamnopyranosyloxy)benzyl GSL, and of one d-apiosylated analogue of 17 were suggested. Moreover, one new GSL, 4'-O-β-d-apiofuranosylglucomatronalin (19) was isolated from H. laciniata (flower, steam and leaf) and characterized by spectroscopic data interpretation. Finally, we report the presence of 3, 4, 6, 19, glucosinalbin (12), and 4-hydroxyglucobrassicin (20) in H. matronalis and hypothesize the presence of glucomatronalin (13) and 3-hydroxy-6-(methylsulfanyl)hexyl GSL (21).

Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is a widespread and economically important pathogen in agricultural crops and has the widest known host range in the virus family Potyviridae. While management of the virus and its aphid vectors in agricultural fields decreases virus incidence, many alternative wild hosts for TuMV may serve as source populations for crop infection through spillover. Over thirty years ago, research demonstrated that the introduced brassica, Dame's Rocket (Hesperis matronalis) hosts several viruses, including TuMV.

and are wide-ranging non-native species in North America. is native to North America but has become a concern as an invasive species in Asia. A replacement series experiment was established to quantify the competitive interactions between these three species and to rank their relative competitiveness with each other.

Invasive plants impose novel selection pressures on naïve mutualistic interactions between native plants and their partners. As most plants critically rely on root fungal symbionts (RFSs) for soil resources, invaders that disrupt plant-RFS mutualisms can significantly depress native plant fitness. Here, we investigate the consequences of RFS mutualism disruption on native plant fitness in a glasshouse experiment with a forest invader that produces known anti-fungal allelochemicals.

Invasive plants can negatively affect belowground processes and alter soil microbial communities. For native plants that depend on soil resources from root fungal symbionts (RFS), invasion could compromise their resource status and subsequent ability to manufacture and store carbohydrates. Herbaceous perennials that depend on RFS-derived resources dominate eastern North American forest understories.
