cabbage aphid (brevicoryne brassicae l.) is a important pest of canola (brassica napus l.) throughout the world, and as the host plant resistance is considered as a useful method to control the pest, therefore twenty one genotypes of canola were evaluated from the view point of their resistance to cabbage aphid infestation in a randomized complete block design with three replications and under ...

conclusions the canola oilseeds could provide a useful expression system to produce hcv core protein as a vaccine candidate. results western blot analysis using anti-his antibody confirmed the presence of a 15 kda protein in the seeds of t1 transgenic lines. the amount of antigenic protein accumulated in the seeds of these transgenic lines was up to 0.05% of the total soluble protein (tsp). mat...

The cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae L. (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a perennial pest that specializes on plants of the Brassicaceae family, attacking winter canola (Brassica napus L.) mainly during and after flowering. Under field conditions, cabbage aphid colonizes the upper flowering canopy. Population dynamics of aphids in the flowering canopy could be regulated by differences in either p...

Gene flow exposed by genetically engineered crops Gene flow is the transfer of genes between populations of the same or related species. The exchange between crop cultivars of genes selected by traditional breeding that confer characteristics such as shorter stems, higher yield, or increased seed quality will attract little attention. In the same way, crop-weed hybrids having acquired traits su...

Field burning of residue is a traditional management tool for irrigated wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the Inland Pacific Northwest of the United States (PNW) that can result in reduced air quality. A 6-year no-till field experiment to evaluate two complete cycles of a 3-year irrigated crop rotation of winter wheat–spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)–winter canola (Brassica napus L.)...

Winter canola (Brassica napus L.) production has increased in the United States over past several decades; however, there is little research southeastern on its agronomic and growth characteristics under different nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates. The objectives of this study were to determine effects N rates winter mortality, yield, oil protein content, seedpod shatter resistance across cultivars...

in order to study the effect of flaming on seed viability of sinapis arvensis l., changes in microorganisms population and physicochemical characteristics of soil after canola (brassica napus l.) harvesting, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with four replications and eight treatments at karaj research center, iran, during 2005- 2006. after harvesting canol...

This study was conducted to explore the effects of different forage types (fresh, hay and silage) on chemical composition, quality in vitro true digestibility (IVTD) fodder turnip (Brassica rapa), mustard nigra) canola napus L.). Ankom Daisy incubator used determine IVTD forages were incubated for 48 hours. According findings this study, silage have highest ether extract (EE) content, while has...
