On the basis of the previous mapping study for male sterility gene Bnms3, we further narrowed it from a genomic region of 470kb to 93.7kb, using a large population consisting of 1339 fertile and 1151 sterile plants, and locus specific markers derived from Brassica rapa of A10. Seventeen open reading frames (ORFs) were predicated in the target region. Of them, two most likely candidate genes wer...

The majority of rapeseed cultivars shatter seeds upon maturity especially under hot-dry and windy conditions, reducing yield and gross margin return to growers. Here, we identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to pod shatter in an unstructured diverse panel of 143 rapeseed accessions, and two structured populations derived from bi-parental doubled haploid (DH) and inter-mated (I...

Little is known about the mechanism of drought tolerance in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). In this study, different morphological and physiological responses to drought stress were studied in three rapeseed cultivars. For the cultivar 2AF009 with high drought tolerance, comparative proteomic analyses were conducted to determine the molecular mechanism behind. Approximately 138 differentially abu...

Four different rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) cultivars CZL, Benefit, Iwas and ZhongZhuang9, were used to analyse physiological responses higher doses of cadmium (Cd) their ability Cd accumulation. Plants exposed for 30 days dosages (0, 50, 100, 150 mg Cd/kg) in soil under greenhouse conditions. Cadmium was accumulated more roots than shoots all tested cultivars, with the highest ZhongZhuang9. Af...

designing breeding programs for winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars with improved seed and oil yields requires information about the genetic variability of traits. in this study, 28 winter rapeseed cultivars were evaluated for genetic variation and relationships between 11 agro-morphological characters during 2010 and 2011. cultivars and cultivar × year interaction showed significant ...

to evaluate the effect of seeding rate on important agronomic traits in three winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars, two field experiments were carried out as split plot arrangement in a complete block design with three replications during 2006-2008 growing seasons. three rapeseed cultivars (okapi, modena and licord) and three seeding rates (6, 8 and 10 kg/ha)) were randomized in main p...

In order to identify drought stress tolerance in rapeseed, nine commercial rapeseed cultivars (Opera, Karaj1, Karaj2, Karaj3, Zarfam, Okapi, Talayeh, Licord and Modena) were evaluated under two conditions (normal and drought stress) in Kangavar region in the west Iran in 2014-2015 growing season. This research was carried out in a split plot experiment based on completely randomized design in f...
