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 …

The Evolution of Natural Plant Communities through Crop Migration and Crop-to-weed Gene Flow
… the 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 …

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 …

AQUEOUS EXTRACTION OF OLEOSOMES FROM ISOLATED HULL-ENRICHED AND KERNEL-ENRICHED FRACTIONS OF CANOLA SEED
… alternatives to synthetic emulsifiers. While canola (Brassica napus L.) is a major oilseed crop, limited information is available on how seed anatomy influences oleosome recovery, composition, and structure. This research investigated the aqueous extraction and characterization of oleosomes …

THERE IS NO PLANET B(EE): AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING DRIVERS OF POTENTIAL DECLINES IN BUMBLEBEE COMMUNITIES
… setting. Using the mass flowering crop canola (Brassica napus), I found that climate change associated plant stress resulted in decreased hive populations and negative outcomes for key markers of forager efficiency. In behavioral assays, foragers demonstrated variable responses in their …

The effects of feeding canola meal from high protein or conventional varieties of canola seeds on pork quality
Canola meal (CM) can be a valuable alternative to soybean meal (SBM) as a protein supplement for pigs. However, it has a lower crude protein content and about 3 times as much fiber as soybean meal, thus limiting the availability of essential amino acids and digestible energy in pig diets, and …

Local Binary Pattern based algorithms for the discrimination and detection of crops and weeds with similar morphologies
… consists of four subclasses: background, Canola (Brassica napus), Corn (Zea mays), and Wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum). In addition, the dataset comprises plant images collected at four crop growth stages, for each subclass. The computer-controlled Testbed is designed to rapidly label …
