Clubroot disease is one of the most serious diseases of Brassica species, which is caused by soil-borne pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin. Clubroot disease has a long history on vegetable crops belonging to the Brassica species; most recently, this disease is also invading rapeseed/canola crop around the globe. The clubroot disease causes significant yield and quality losses in highly i...

Glucosinolates are sulphur containing secondary metabolites biosynthesized by many plant species in the order Brassicales. Physical tissue or cell injury leads to the breakdown of glucosinolates through the hydrolytic action of the enzyme myrosinase, resulting in the production of compounds including isothiocynates, thiocyanates and nitriles. Derivative compounds of glucosinolates have a wide r...

Oil seed rape (Brassica napus L.) cultivars, donors of quality (SC) and self-incompatible (SI) lines have been analysed using identification of S-locus. In several Brassica napus cultivars one S-locus SLG gene was detected as dominant and the second S-locus as recessive. Amplification class II SLG gene screened recessive gene in all analysed samples (SC and SI). The DNA fragment of recessive ge...

One of the prior directions in modern rapeseed breeding is making heterotic hybrids. Seed production most hybrids F1 used are often carried out by two types cytoplasmic male sterility, there Polima and Ogura. At All-Russian Rapeseed Research Institute, fertility restorers on sterile cytoplasm were made estimated for main valuable characteristics biochemical properties. The purpose study was to ...

BACKGROUND Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is an important oil crop in the world, and increasing its oil content is a major breeding goal. The studies on seed structure and characteristics of different oil content rapeseed could help us to understand the biological mechanism of lipid accumulation, and be helpful for rapeseed breeding. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we report on the seed ult...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a crop relatively tolerant to salt. The effect of different ratios of NaCl/KCl was studied in two cultivars (Hyola308 and Kristina) of Rapeseed in 2002. Canola seedlings were grown in Hoagland’s solutions, which were salinized by different ratios of NaCl/KCl. The treatments or KCl:NaCl ratios were 0:0 (control);10:10; 20:0 (Total Added Salt or TAS=20 mol.m-3), 0:...

Glebionis coronaria (L.) Cass. ex Spach is one of the most serious weeds in cereal crops Northern Tunisia. Our previous studies have confirmed presence resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides G. coronaria, showing evolution cross-resistance through TS and NTS mechanisms. The purpose this study was evaluate effects (i) two tillage practices (conventional reduced tillage), (ii) three known allelo...

rapeseed (brassica napus l.) is a crop relatively tolerant to salt. the effect of different ratios of nacl/kcl was studied in two cultivars (hyola308 and kristina) of rapeseed in 2002. canola seedlings were grown in hoagland’s solutions, which were salinized by different ratios of nacl/kcl. the treatments or kcl:nacl ratios were 0:0 (control);10:10; 20:0 (total added salt or tas=20 mol.m-3), 0:...

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...

Over the last fifteen years, considerable progress has been made in the field of “green chemistry”, as regards both research aspects and market development. In particular, extraction of erucic acid (C22:1) from plants and its industrial applications have received increasing attention. At present, known species producing oils yielding large quantities of erucic acid belong, with few exceptions, ...
