Pectin, Lignin and Disease Resistance in Brassica napus L.: An Update

Transcriptomic basis for drought-resistance in Brassica napus L.

Based on transcriptomic data from four experimental settings with drought-resistant and drought-sensitive cultivars under drought and well-watered conditions, statistical analysis revealed three categories encompassing 169 highly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in response to drought in Brassica napus L., including 37 drought-resistant cultivar-related genes, 35 drought-sensitive cultivar...

Some Biochemical Parameters of Brassica napus L

s: Chromium is one of the unessential heavy metal that makes high toxicity in the plants. The aim of this study was assaying the changes that come from toxicity of (Cr ) on some biochemical, physiological and 6+ ionic specification of Brassica napus variety sari flower. The tests were conducted at hydro ionic conditions and at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 μm concentration of K CrO with four repeats in...

Breeding Brassica napus for Shatter Resistance

Genetic Map Construction and Sclerotinia Resistance QTLs Identification in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

Sclerotinia stem rot is one of the most devastating diseases of rapeseed in China, which causes yield loss ranging from 10 to 80%. The objective of this study was to detect the QTLs associated with this disease. A partial sclerotinia resistance rapeseed line M083 was crossed with a sensitive one APL01, and the BC1F1 derived from this cross was used as a mapping population. The 182 lines of BC1F...

Genome-Wide Analysis of Seed Acid Detergent Lignin (ADL) and Hull Content in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

A stable yellow-seeded variety is the breeding goal for obtaining the ideal rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) plant, and the amount of acid detergent lignin (ADL) in the seeds and the hull content (HC) are often used as yellow-seeded rapeseed screening indices. In this study, a genome-wide association analysis of 520 accessions was performed using the Q + K model with a total of 31,839 single-nucleo...
