Canola (Brassica napus L. var. oleracea) is the third most common oil-producing crop worldwide after palm and soybean. cultivation requires use of chemical fertilizers, but amount required can be reduced by applying plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Among PGPB, endophytic have certain advantages as biofertilizers, canola rarely been studied. In this work, we identified a collection bacter...

At the State University of Ponta Grossa (UEPG), among extension activities that promote interaction between students and community is The Ohio Program, started in 1979 to support seeking international experience. In order return a systematic study communities welcomed them, extensionists were challenged by farmers compare cost profit producing canola (Brassica napus var oleifera) corn (Zea mays...

An Illumina Infinium array comprising 5306 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers was used to genotype 175 individuals of a doubled haploid population derived from a cross between Skipton and Ag-Spectrum, two Australian cultivars of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). A genetic linkage map based on 613 SNP and 228 non-SNP (DArT, SSR, SRAP and candidate gene markers) covering 2514.8 cM was const...

The effect of salinity was assessed on the activity of some major antioxidant enzymes i.e., superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), in the seedlings’ roots or shoots of three winter canola (Brassica napus L.) cultivars, Colvert (tolerant), Symbol (semi tolerant) and Agat (susceptible). Seedlings were treated with 0 (control), 50, 100 and 150 mM NaCl for 24 h in hydropoic c...

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) or Canola is an important oilseed crop produced and consumed globally. The predicted increase in the frequency of high-temperature events associated with climate change poses a threat to productivity. In present work, we report impact short-term heat stress on reproductive fitness yield components Canola. Short episodes, especially above 36°C, resulted diminished d...
