Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.): We analyzed a total of n = 136 rapeseed in-breds proprietary to Norddeutsche Pflanzenzucht Hans-Georg Lembke KG (Holt-see, Germany). In 2004, all entries were evaluated in a series of field trials. All trials included a set of three common checks and were conducted at Hohenlieth and Malchow (Germany). The experimental design of each trial was a 6×6 lattice design w...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most important oil crops in China. Improving production rapeseed an way to ensure safety edible Oil index that reflects quality and determined by content yield. Applying nitrogen a strong stable However, seed has been shown be reduced varieties after application. Thus, it critical screen elite germplasm resources with or improved under high levels nitr...

Having nursery rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) seedlings at a high density in tray is an indispensable step to realizing mechanized transplanting for rapeseed. The reduction seedling quality caused by sowing one of the key factors affecting and yield. Uniconazole has been considered as potential plant growth regulator improve under diverse unfavorable circumstances. In two densities (400 800 seeds...

Lysophosphatidate (LPA) acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.51) in the microsomes from palm endosperm (Syagrus cocoides Martius), maize scutellum (Zea mays L.), and rapeseed cotyledon (Brassica napus L.) of maturing seeds were studied for their specificities toward the acyl moiety of the substrates lysophosphatidate and acyl coenzyme A (CoA). The LPA acceptor greatly influenced the acyl CoA specificity o...

The effect of aqueous smoke extract, derived from Tanacetum parthenium, onin vitro plantlet regeneration from rapeseed (Brassica napus L. cv. Topas)microspore-derived embryos (MDEs) was evaluated in this study. Inoculation ofrapeseed MDEs with the smoke-extract dilutions (1:250, 1:500, 1:1000 and 1:2000)for various times (5, 10 and 15 min) significantly enhanced the percentage ofregenerated pla...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects humic acid (HA) applications on rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) growth, heavy metal uptake, bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation (TF), tolerance index (TI), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzyme activities and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content in polluted soil with lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn). Three doses...

Crucifer-feeding flea beetles, Phyllotreta spp., are chronic insect pests in Canadian prairie canola production. Multiple laboratory and field feeding bioassays were conducted to determine the susceptibility of a wide range of crucifer species, cultivars, and accessions to feeding by flea beetles with the goal of discovering sources of resistant germplasm. In 62 bioassays of 218 entries, no con...
