This research will examine the physiological and genetic basis of disease resistance and plant fitness in wild and agricultural populations of the mustard Brassica campestris. Variation in plant chemistry and enzymes that are believed to control resistance to insects and microbial pathogens, will be related to theories about plant protection. Integrating molecular information from the DNA level with biochemistry and quantitative analysis of disease resistance, will lead to a better understanding of the process of plant growth and plant defense. In addition to the fundamental scientific understanding deriving from this work, there are potential agricultural and environmental benefits. This work may lead to genetically improved crops (canola, broccoli, etc.) that are more resistant to insects or diseases and require reduced application of toxic chemical pesticides.

这项研究将研究芥菜芥菜野生和农业种群抗病性和植物适应性的生理和遗传基础。 植物化学和酶的变化被认为可以控制对昆虫和微生物病原体的抗性，这将与植物保护理论相关。 将DNA水平的分子信息与生物化学和抗病性定量分析相结合，将有助于更好地了解植物生长和植物防御的过程。 除了从这项工作中获得的基本科学认识之外，还有潜在的农业和环境效益。 这项工作可能会带来基因改良作物（油菜、西兰花等），这些作物对昆虫或疾病具有更强的抵抗力，并且需要减少有毒化学农药的使用。
