The apetalous genotype is a morphological ideotype for increasing seed yield and should be of considerable agricultural use; however, only a few studies have focused on the genetic control of this trait in Brassica napus. In the present study, a recombinant inbred line, the AH population, containing 189 individuals was derived from a cross between an apetalous line 'APL01' and a normally petall...

Brassica carinata (carinata) has emerged as a potential biofuel source due to its high erucic acid content, making it desirable for various industrial applications. Nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) are required primary sources of nutrition growth development in different oilseed crops their utilization is interdependent. The purpose the study was analyze interactive effect N S on other physiological...

volatile components of three parts of pimpinella tragium vill. (umbelliferae family) from iran were investigated qualitatively and quantitatively for the first time. essential oils were isolated by hydro-distillation from stems plus leaves, inflorescence and seeds of p. tragium individually. the plant materials were collected from polour (northeast of tehran province). the yields of the stems p...

Flowering, the transition from the vegetative to the generative phase, is a decisive time point in the lifecycle of a plant. Flowering is controlled by a complex network of transcription factors, photoreceptors, enzymes and miRNAs. In recent years, several studies gave rise to the hypothesis that this network is also strongly involved in the regulation of other important lifecycle processes ran...

In Brassica napus breeding, traits related to commercial success are of highest importance for plant breeders. However, such traits can only be assessed in an advanced developmental stage. Molecular markers genetically linked to such traits have the potential to accelerate the breeding process of B. napus by marker-assisted selection. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to identify (i)...

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is an important oilseed crop worldwide and 1000-seed weight (SW) the determinant of seed yield B. napus. To elucidate genetic mechanism SW mining candidate genes, a panel 403 diverse accessions was screened in genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 1.60 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This identified 340 SNPs significantly associated with by ...

Canola (Brassica napus) is one of several important oil-producing crops, and the physiological processes, enzymes, and genes involved in oil synthesis in canola seeds have been well characterized. However, relatively little is known about the dynamic metabolic changes that occur during oil accumulation in seeds, as well as the mechanistic origins of metabolic changes. To explore the metabolic c...

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is sexually compatible with its wild and weedy relative B. rapa, and introgression of genes from B. napus has been found to occur over a few generations. We simulated the early stages of transgene escape by producing F1 hybrids and the first backcross generation between two lines of transgenic B. napus and two populations of weedy B. rapa. Transgene expression and ...
