Five herbicides commonly used in rapeseed crop, canola (Brassica napus var Olifera) fields in Iran were studied with an eye to their antifungal activities against six isolates of Trichoderma species and also the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The doses tested were the same as are recommended for applications in canola crops. The results showed that the dinitro aniline herbicid...

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...

abstract the use of plants for remediation of heavy metals contaminated soils is an economical, cheap and effective strategy. this research was conducted in order to study the effect of potassium chloride on cadmium uptake and enhancement of it's phytoremediation by canola (brassica napus l.) and sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) in a cadmium polluted soil from angoran in zanjan province. in a r...

to evaluate the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on growth indices and competitive ability of canola (brassica napus l.) against wild mustard (sinapis arvensis l.), a split plot trial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications, was carried out at agricultural faculty of bu-ali sina university, during 2008-2009. experimental factors were amounts of nitro...

The ascomycete Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a plant pathogen with a very broad host range. In order to identify and characterize genes involved in S. sclerotiorum infection of Brassica napus (canola), expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were examined from libraries prepared from three tissues: complex appressorium (infection cushions), mycelia grown on agar and lesions formed on leaves of B. napus. A...
