Chronic Impact Of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles On Solanum Lycopersicum L. And Brassica Rapa L.
… (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and Turnip mustard (Brassica rapa L.) fast growing variety, and the physiological and biochemical responses of these two plant species to CeO2-NPs. Four specific objectives were established. The first objective was to investigate the effects of combined CeO2-NPs and …

Caracterización morfológica y molecular de poblaciones de Brassica rapa Y B. napus con resistencia a herbicidas
El cultivo de variedades de colza (Brassica napus) con resistencia a herbicidas en nuestro país presenta el riesgo de transferencia de esa característica a especies silvestres emparentadas. Una de estas especies es el nabo silvestre (B. rapa), una importante maleza de los cultivos de invierno que …

Effect of Liposome Encapsulation of Cauliflower Mosaic Virus and Its Dna on Plant Infectivity and Culture of Turnip (Brassica Rapa L.) Protoplasts, Their Uptake and Expression of Exogenous Dna
… below 24 C, inoculated half-leaves of turnip (Brassica rapa L. cv. Just Right) produced distinct lesions. Decolorizing and staining leaves for starch increased 2 to 3 times the number of observable lesions. This starch lesion assay for CaMV provided infectivity-dilution curves with linear …

Investigating the regulation of plant immunity by the N-degron pathway
… studies in the economically important crop Brassica rapa and transfer knowledge obtained via the experiments with its close relative Arabidopsis. Together, this work has yielded novel insights into the role of the N-degron pathway in the PTI response of both the Arabidopsis thaliana model …

Determining the Fate of Hybridized Genomes in the Allopolyploid Brassica napus
… changes that follow allopolyploid formation, Brassica napus lineages were derived by hybridizing Brassica oleracea and Brassica rapa. Two lineages of B. napus were analyzed for genetic and phenotypic changes in the S2, S7, and S12 generations. Although these lineages were genetically identical …

An Investigation into the Evolution and Function of RNA-Directed DNA Methylation and its Component Proteins
… into the methylation status of mature embryos in Brassica rapa, where loss of RdDM causes severe developmental defects, shows the hypermethylated nature of those embryos. Analyzing small RNA and methylation data across different tissues in Brassica rapa, I have shown that the methylation in the …

Artificial Soil Formation And Stabilization Of Material Cycles In Closed Ecological Systems For Mars Habitats
… needs of Mars's first human inhabitants. A Brassica rapa (Wisconsin FastPlantTM) was grown on several different substrates, and evaluated for plant stress, elemental analysis, soil fertility, and mineralogical analysis to identify the biogeochemical factors related to areas inside and …

Evolution, function and manipulation of methyl halide production in plants
… and stress response pathways in A. thaliana. Brassica crops are significant emitters of methyl halides. A HOL-homologous gene (BraA.HOL.a) was identified in Brassica rapa. It was confirmed that this gene contributes to methyl halide production in B. rapa since braA.hol.a mutants had …

Synthesis and evaluation of polyol based biolubricants from vegetable oils
… negatively correlated with oxidative stability. Brassica rapa cultivars, with less than 3.5% saturated fat and less than 20% polyunsaturated fat, can be an excellent feedstock with improved cold fluidity and oxidative stability. In the second study, B. rapa TAG molecules were modified to produce …

Budget analysis of quarter-Finn and Western ewes in spring- and fall-lambing systems
… Leeke) as annual mid-summer forage and turnip (Brassica rapa L.) as annual late-fall forage were investigated. Dry ewes grazing millet lost weight in one yr, but averaged .23 Ib/d gain in a second yr; weaned lambs grazing pearl millet averaged .32 lb/d gain over 2 yr. Lactating and dry ewes …

Effect of summer and winter rotations on selected soil properties and productivity of succeeding winter chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
… fallow and winter crops [chickpea - mustard (Brassica rapa)] and combination treatments consisting of summer-winter crop rotations. The field experiments were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. Seeds were inoculated and sown manually at intra-row …

Introgression of genes from rape to wild turnip
… introgression under a range of scenarios. Rape (Brassica napus) and wild turnip (B. rapa var. oleifera) were used as a model system. A homozygous dominant mutation in the rape genome conferring herbicide resistance provided a convenient marker for the study of introgression. Potential differences …

Specificity in the ecology and evolution of plant defense against herbivores: Identity and history
Biotic interactions can structure communities, drive succession, and account for patterns of biodiversity, yet we currently know little about how multiple biotic factors interact to influence traits in ecological and evolutionary time. Moreover, variation in biotic interactions among native and …
