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 ...

According to the St. Louis POST-DISPATCH, Monsanto, the St. Louis chemical and biotechnology giant, last month announced it had recalled "small quantities" of a genetically engineered canola seed containing an unapproved gene that had gotten into the product by mistake. Canola is a crop grown for livestock feed, and for oil consumed by humans. The canola-recall story, only 84 words long, was bu...

increased nitrogen applications to crops influence plant-herbivore interactions and potentially increase herbivore population growth.in this research, the impact of nitrogen fertilizations on nutritional quality of three canola (brassica napus l.) cultivars (zarfam, okapi and modena), and, consequently, the performance of mustard aphids, lipaphis erysimi kalt., on them were investigated under g...

In order to evaluation of influence of sulphur fertilizer on grain yield and the some of physiological indices of canola, an split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted in Research Farm Islamic Azad University, Ardabil branch in 2007. Factors were: sulfur fertilizer at four levels (0 as control, 25, 50 and 75 kg S/ha) in the main plots and canola cultivars at t...

The comparative analysis of different taxonomic groups of microorganisms isolated from dark chernozem soils under different agricultures (alfalfa, melilot, sainfoin, soybean, rapeseed) at Almaty region of Kazakhstan was conducted. It was shown that the greatest number of micromycetes was typical to the soil planted with alfalfa and canola. Species diversity of micromycetes markedly decreases as...

INTRODUCTION Canola, which is genetically modified (GM) for tolerance to glyphosate, has the potential to become established as a new glyphosate resistant weed, thus reducing the effectiveness of glyphosate. METHODS Volunteer from dormant canola seeds produced thousands of plants per hectare in the fourth year (2011) following a 2007 crop harvest. This occurred with no additional canola seed ...

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with diode array detection (DAD) was used to determine the total phenolics, including sinapic acid derivatives in canola. Ten Western Canadian canola seeds, six other commodity canola seeds, their corresponding press cakes and meals were analyzed. Seeds of European 00 rapeseed and Brassica Juncea (Indian mustard) were included for comparis...

mutation induction is considered as an effective way to enrich plant genetic variation, particularly fortraits with a very low level of genetic variation. this research was conducted to assess genetic variationinduced by gamma radiation in m2 and m3 mutant lines of canola (brassica napus l.) by ssr and morphologicalcharacteristics and to identify useful mutants in terms of agronomic traits. six...

The 2004 Harvest Survey of Canadian canola (1) had higher than average chlorophyll content due to a cooler than normal season combined with an early damaging frost resulting in immature seed. As a result, chlorophyll levels in many No. 1 Canada Canola (1CC) export shipments increased to over 30 mg/kg (2). Dockage has been suspected in contributing to the chlorophyll levels in canola cargoes but...
