Abstrakt: The destruxin B detoxification pathway present in Sinapis alba is also present in three unrelated species, Camelina sativa, Capsella bursa-pastoris, and Eruca sativa, suggesting a conservation of this pathway across crucifers. The chemical structure of a destruxin B metabolite, (6'-O-malonyl)hydroxydestruxin B beta-D-glucopyranoside, was also establised. Considering that Camelina sativa and Capsella bursa-pastoris detoxify destruxin B and produce the phytoalexins camalexins, these wild crucifers appear to represent unique and perhaps useful sources of blackleg resistance in strategic plant breeding.
