It causes brassica dark leaf spot on most Brassica species, including economically important crops.
Brassica species have been approved by ERMA for a ten-year field trial in Canterbury.
Amino Acids such as proline accumulate in halophytic Brassica species, quaternary ammonium bases such as Glycine Betaine and sugars have been shown to act in this role within halophytic members of Chenopodiaceae and members of Asteraceae show the build up of cyclites and soluble sugars.
For instance, the taxonomically correct name of the parasite of the well-known model organism Arabidopsis thaliana is Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis, not H. parasitica, whereas the pathogen of Brassica has to be called Hyaloperonospora brassicae.
Ability to taste PTC may be correlated with a dislike of plants in the Brassica genus, presumably due to chemical similarities.
Research focuses on the study of major crop species such as sorghum and cotton, as well as other species such as Bermuda Grass, Brassica and Peanut.

According to the Triangle of U theory, B. oleracea is very closely related to five other species of the genus Brassica.
