The article briefly reviewed the features of biological actions of secondary metabolite such as Glucosinolate (Thioglycosides) and their derivates in plants of Brassicaceae taking into account the pharmacological aspect and the role of the metabolites in plant vital activity. The promising results were obtained when these plant preparations were used as nematicide on two plant species as cress and horseradish; that was in order to fight against Meloidogyne that develops under condition of protected plant cultivation.

On 24-25 of September, 2013, the International Research and Practice Conference of Cole Crops was held in the All-Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Breeding and Seed Production, in terms of which the meeting of the research and methodologycal commission and open field day have been conducted.

The description of new varieties and F1 hybrids of different species and subspecies of cole crops of VNIISSOK's breeding are represented

One of the most important and necessary aim during breeding project realization is to develop varieties, cultivars and F1 hybrids possessing the resistance to pathogens and pests. Joint efforts of plant breeders and immunologists of All-Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Breeding and Seed Production (VNIISSOK) have been resulting in development new varieties, F1 hybrids with combined resistance to Crucifer flea and other leaf pests.
