greater than CO2 (Callander et al., 1995). Therefore, the objective of the present work was to quantify the annual emission of N2O from winter rye, M. ‘Giganteus’ and winter oilseed rape. Furthermore the N2O emission will be related to the estimated net CO2-displacement. The annual emissions of N2O were measured using a closed-chamber technique and were based on results obtained by Jørgensen et...

The creation of transgenic plants through genetic engineering has focused interest on how the fitness of a plant species may be altered by small changes in its genome. This study concentrates on a key component of fitness: persistence of seeds overwinter. Seeds of three lines of oilseed rape (Brassica napus subsp. oleifera DC Metzger) and of charlock (Sinapis arvensis L.) were buried in nylon m...

Monitoring for escape of genetically modified (GM) oilseed rape (Brassica napus) during transport can be performed by means of roadside evaluations in areas where cultivation of this GM crop is not conducted, such as in Japan. We performed a survey of oilseed rape plants growing along a 20-km section of Japan's Route 51, one of the main land transportation routes in central Japan for imports of...

BACKGROUND Scheduled meals are considered to be equivalent to those requested by the infant (null hypothesis). In adults, we have found high blood glucose before scheduled meals and low blood glucose after recognition of validated initial hunger. Low preprandial blood glucose is associated with a decrease in energy intake and body weight both in adults who are overtly overweight and in those wh...

The estimation of nitrogen status, non-destructively, in oilseed rape was performed using spectral reflectance with visible and near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (Vis/NIRS), and SPAD values of the oilseed rape leaves of 30 plots were measured by a SPAD 502 chlorophyll meter, and the research was carried out at experiment field in the Zhejiang University during growing season from 2007 to 2...

Ethametsulfuron-methyl is an active ingredient discovered by DuPont de Nemours, which controls Geranium, Brassicaceae and other broad-leaved weeds in oilseed rape. It is to be used in post emergence, between the stage 1 to 8 leaves of the winter oilseed rape, in mixture or in programme with other herbicides.
