Development of yellow seeded BRASSICA NAPUS L., through interspecific crosses
Yellow seeded Brassica napus was developed by introgressing genes for yellow seed colour from the two mustard species, B. juncea and B. carinata into rape, B. napus through interspecific crosses. This achievement was based on the hypothesis that it should be possible to incorporate genes for yellow …

Towards plastid transformation in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.)
In the current study tissue cultures of rapeseed (cv. “Drakkar”, cv. “Westar”) and sugarbeet (cv. ”Viktoria”, cv. “VRB”, cv. ”31-188”, cv. ”7T1308” and 47 other breeding lines, Appendix 1) have been investigated for the establishment of conditions that make possible plastid transformation in both …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) Termination and Integration of Halauxifen into Virginia Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Production
Cover crops have become an important part of cropping systems in the United States, especially in the Mid-Atlantic region. Rapeseed is a popular choice due to its deep growing taproot which creates soil macropores and increases water infiltration. If not properly terminated rapeseed can become …

Quantitative trait locus mapping of yield and yield components in canola (Brassica napus L.) under irrigated and rainfed treatments
Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is an oilseed crop that has a variety of uses, including applications in industry as well as for food, feed, and fuel. Improved B. napus cultivars with decreased levels of two disease-causing compounds are known commonly as canola or double-low cultivars, and are …

Phenotyping Canola (Brassica napus L.) Agronomic Traits and Estimating Seed Yield Using Unoccupied Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based Multispectral Imagery
Canola (Brassica napus L.), as an important oilseed crop, is widely grown in Canada. In plant breeding, there has been great improvement in genetic techniques, but traditional field phenotyping methods are a limitation in breeding genotype selection for new cultivar development. These conventional …

Agronomic Practices to Reduce the Effects of Environmental Stresses on Spring Canola (Brassica napus L.) Establishment and Yield in Ontario
… primary challenges in the production of canola (Brassica napus L.), and plant population strongly affects crop morphology. We tested the hypotheses that i) pre-plant application of liquid dairy manure (LDM) improves crop establishment more than a fertilizer with similar nutrients, and ii) plant …

The Evolution of Natural Plant Communities through Crop Migration and Crop-to-weed Gene Flow
… establishment of transgenic, persisting canola (Brassica napus L.) populations on a large spatial scale in the U.S.A. and the development of novel genotypes within these populations. We also identify species and population level differences in hybridization rates between transgenic canola and …

The ecology of Brassica napus
Volunteer canola (Brassica napus L.) has become an abundant weed in western Canadian cropping systems. Modern canola cultivars are strong competitors and produce large seed yields, however seed shattering during harvest creates large volunteer seedbanks. The segregation of hybrid trait and changes …

Characteristics of phosphatidate phosphatase from developing seeds and microspore-derived cultures of oilseed rape
… studies with homogenate from developing seeds (Brassica napus L. cv Westar) the time course for release of inorganic phosphate from phosphatidate was linear for at least 60 min and the enzyme was stable to at least three cycles of freezing and thawing. Differential centrifugation studies were …

Isolation, identification and characterization of Cleome Gynandra L. bacterial seed endophytes from Northern Namibia
… were selected for greenhouse trials using Brassica napus L. (Rape English Giant) seeds. In comparison to the control groups, there was a statistically significant difference for root length (p=0.024), plant height (p=0.037) wet (p=0.000) and dry (p=0.000) mass in the microbial experimental …

Optimizing Cover Crop Integration: Early Establishment Methods and Technological Approaches for Enhanced Biomass and Nitrogen Management in the Mid-Atlantic
… L.), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), and their mixture. Over two years, data revealed that CCs planted at corn harvest achieved significantly higher fall biomass (721 to 846 kg ha-1) than those seeded four weeks later (134 to 200 kg ha-1). Year 2 data showed a …

Influence of Cover Crop Termination Timing on its Volunteers and Weed Suppression
… hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), and rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), and four termination timings; 28, 14, 5, and 1 days before corn planting (DBP). Results indicated volunteerism was only an issue with rapeseed. Delaying rapeseed termination resulted in 0, 5, 12, and 22 volunteer plants m-2 at …

Inline disinfestation of canola seeds from red flour beetles using a 50-ohm RF technology
… (Tribolium castaneum) in bulk canola seeds (Brassica napus L.) of 9 % moisture content (MC) in a tubular applicator with parallel electrodes. The heating characteristics of the bulk canola seeds was studied using the 50-ohm RF system and non-uniformity of the temperature distribution of bulk …

AQUEOUS EXTRACTION OF OLEOSOMES FROM ISOLATED HULL-ENRICHED AND KERNEL-ENRICHED FRACTIONS OF CANOLA SEED
