the allelopathic potential of the foliage tissues of eight barley cultivars was investigated using seedlings bioassays of indian brown mustard (brassica juncea) and green foxtail (setaria viridis) as typical broadleaf and grass weeds of the croplands. the correlations of allelochemical compounds with seed germination of weeds were determined. the barley cultivars used were jackson, bronco, cdc ...


 Pendahuluan: Dewasa ini permintaan hasil pertanian berupa sayuran mengalami peningkatan khususnya tanaman sawi (Brassica juncea) yang memiliki pangsa pasar luas. Akan tetapi produksi tidak maksimal membuat tersebut hanya tersebar di lokal. Metode hidroponik merupakan alternatif dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan sehingga memenuhi konsumen.

Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss] is one of the most important oilseed crops worldwide yet drought and salinity stress significantly reduced its growth yield. The research was carried out in order to test effect on osmoprotectants (total soluble sugars, proline), antioxidant molecules (ascorbate, ?-tocopherol) ionic content from dry sample leaves introgression lines varieti...

Among various environmental stresses, salt stress is an extensively damaging to major crops all over the world. A set of experiments was conducted to examine the role of 28-homobrassinolide on growth and photosynthetic pigments of salt tolerant Brassica juncea cultivar RLC-1 under control or saline conditions i.e., 0 or 180 mM of NaCl. Surface sterilized seeds of B. juncea were given pre-sowing...

Although Brassica juncea (Indian mustard) is reported to be a good accumulator of metals, little is known of the selected varieties of B. juncea (cvs. Rai and BARI-11). This paper investigates the phytoaccumulation of arsenic, cadmium and lead by B. juncea (cvs. Rai and BARI-11) parents and F1 hybrids. The experiment was conducted in the hydroponic media in the greenhouse of University of South...

Selenium (Se) hyperaccumulation, the capacity of some species to concentrate Se to levels upwards of 0.1% of dry weight, is an intriguing phenomenon that is only partially understood. Questions that remain to be answered are: do hyperaccumulators have one or more Se-specific transporters? How are these regulated by Se and sulfur (S)? In this study, hyperaccumulator Stanleya pinnata was compared...

Heavy metal pollution is an environmental concern. Phytoremediation is a low-cost, environmental-friendly approach to solve this problem. Mustard has the potential in reducing heavy metal contents in soils. Among mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss) genotypes in Sri Lanka, accessions 7788, 8831 and 5088 give significantly a high yield. Therefore, present study was conducted to quantify t...

BRASSICA GENOME RESEARCH TOPIC Brassica species include important crops and provide unique materials for the study of genome evolution. These crops include six important vegetables and oilseed crops, which have been classically described by “U’s triangle’. The three diploid species B. rapa (A genome), B. nigra (B genome), and B. oleracea (C genome) have formed the amphidiploid species B. juncea...

Previous studies showed that the yellow seed color gene of a yellow mustard was located on the A09 chromosome. In this study, the sequences of the molecular markers linked to the yellow seed color gene were analyzed, the gene was primarily mapped to an interval of 23.304 to 29.402M. Twenty genes and eight markers' sequences in this region were selected to design the IP and SCAR primers. These p...

Meals produced when oil is extracted from seeds in the Brassicaceae have been shown to suppress weeds and soilborne pathogens. These seed meals are commonly used individually as soil amendments; the goal of this research was to evaluate seed meal mixes of Brassica juncea (Bj) and Sinapis alba (Sa) against Meloidogyne incognita. Seed meals from Bj 'Pacific Gold' and Sa 'IdaGold' were tested alon...
