Brassicodae V.E. Avet. in Biol. Zhurn. Armenii 43: 602. 1990 ( 'Brassicidinae').

Type.

Brassica L.

Syn.

Sisymbriodae V.E. Avet., Thelypodiodae V.E. Avet.

Description.

Trichomes absent or simple, rarely branched; multicellular glands absent. Leaves predominantly undivided or slightly divided, rarely much divided, often auriculate at base. Most common x = 7.

Distribution.

Mainly Northern Hemisphere (Holarctis of Eurasia, N America and Africa), to a lesser degree C and S America.

Tribes.

Aphragmeae D.A.German & Al-Shehbaz, Brassiceae DC. [incl. Bivonaeeae M.A. Koch & Warwick], Calepineae Horan., Coluteocarpeae V.I. Dorof., Conringieae D.A. German & Al-Shehbaz, Eutremeae Al-Shehbaz, Beilstein & E.A. Kellogg, Fourraeeae Al-Shehbaz, M.A. Koch, R. Karl & D.A.German, Isatideae DC., Kernereae Al-Shehbaz, Warwick, Mumm. & M.A. Koch, Plagiolobeae Khosravi & Eslami-Farouji, Schrenkielleae trib. nov., Sisymbrieae DC., Thelypodieae Prantl, Thlaspideae DC.

Notes.

Corresponds to evolutionary lineage II introduced by Beilstein et al. (2006) and subsequently modified by Franzke et al. (2011) to become known as "expanded lineage II", or lineage B of Huang et al. (2016). Cochlearieae reveals relationship with Brassicodae in nuclear-based phylogeny, though it groups with “rogue” tribes of Heliophilodae in plastid trees (details in Hendriks et al. 2022). Its supertribal assignment is therefore yet unclear.
