Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) characteristically has high N uptake efficiency and low N utilization efficiency (NUtE, seed yield/shoot N accumulation). Determining the NUtE phenotype of various genotypes in different growth conditions is a way of finding target traits to improve oilseed rape NUtE. The aim of this study was to compare oilseed rape genotypes grown on contrasting N supply rates in...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and mustard juncea are two important oilseed crops grown worldwide for edible oil meal production, as well as, a source of renewable energy. Silique shattering at the maturity stage is major cause seed yield reduction in brassica. Losses more developing countries due to poor management non-availability combine harvesters. resistance essential achieving good especial...

Four rapeseed cultivars (Hayola 401, Hayola 308, RGS and Option) were evaluated for some physiological traits under stress (50 % field capacity (FC) and non-stress (irrigated) conditions. The factorial set of treatments was arranged within a randomized complete block design with three replications. The collected data were analyzed using path and factor analyses. These is results showed that...

Rapeseed is one of the most important edible oil crops in the world and the seed yield has lagged behind the increasing demand driven by population growth. Winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is widely cultivated with relatively low yield in China, so it is necessary to find the strategies to improve the expression of yield potential. Planting density has great effects on seed yield of crop...

a greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the competitive effects of different densities of wild mustardas against rapeseed. the experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with four replicationsusing replacement series in which wild mustard and rapeseed were respectively planted in different ratios of 4:0, 3:1,2:2, 1:3 and 0:4 plants per pot. results indicated that t...

sowing date is an important determinant of yield in canola. cultivation of winter rapeseed cultivars in semi arid regions of iran however it has high potential for production, but, mentioned cultivars are late maturity and this late maturity cause to that silique formation and seed filling periods mature in the same time with hot and dry weather condition. in contrast, spring rapeseed cultivars...
