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 …

Improving Brassica napus straw for cellulosic ethanol production
… relevant to saccharification efficiency of Brassica napus straw were investigated using steam explosion. Screening methods were developed to gather suitable data for association mapping. Areas of the B. napus transcriptome related to processing traits were highlighted and assessed. The …

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 …

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 …

The genetic control of stem mechanical properties in Brassica Napus and Wheat
… Lodging is a widespread problem in both Brassica napus (B. napus) and wheat, and is a key contributor to yield loss. The development of genetic markers that could be used in the selection of elite accessions with high stem mechanical strength is an approach that could compliment current …

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 …

Molecular and biochemical characterization of steroid sulfotransferases from Brassica napus and Arabidopsis thaliana
… to - 4 encoding steroid sulfotransferases from Brassica napus . Recombinant BNST3 catalyzes the sulfonation of brassinosteroids and of mammalian estrogenic steroids. The enzyme is stereospecific for 24-epibrassinosteroids, with a substrate preference for 24-epicathasterone, a metabolic precursor …

Spatio-temporal analysis of florigenic signals in Arabidopsis thaliana, Sinapis alba and Brassica napus
… species, Arabidopsis thaliana, Sinapis alba and Brassica napus in combination with transcript profiling by Affymetrix chip hybridization, metabolite profiling by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry and targeted protein analysis using antibodies. All analyses were performed on tissue-specific …

A Genetic Approach towards Modulating Pre-Harvest Pod Shatter in Brassica napus (Oilseed Rape)
Pre-harvest pod-shattering in Brassica napus (Oilseed Rape) is a serious agricultural and economic problem, with losses of 11-25% reported (Price et al., 1996) resulting in lost revenues of an estimated £66 million per annum for the U.K. alone. Reductions in this loss will provide benefits for both …

Linking germination traits of oilseed rape (<i>Brassica napus</i> L.) to DNA markers
Oilseed rape has become an important weed in arable rotations and a feral plant of field margins, soil dumps and roadsides. Seed persistence in the soil following induced secondary dormancy is thought to perpetuate these weed and feral populations. Potential variation between cultivars has been …

Transformation of Brassica napus cv. Westar with the beet western yellows virus coat protein gene
… et al. (1989) utilizing cotyledonary explants of Brassica napus cv. Westar. Thirty eight regenerated plants were recovered under the selection of the antibiotic, kanamycin. Southern blot analysis of Hind digested plant DNA indicated that the BWYV CP gene was present in the genome of three …

The Role of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase 4 in Flower Color of the Allopolyploid Brassica napus
… plant biologists study the model organism <em>Brassica napus</em> (farmed as canola or oilseed rape). With white-flowering and yellow-flowering progenitors, flower color phenotype of <em>B. napus </em>presents an opportunity to examine subgenomic interactions. <em>CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE …

Funktionelle Charakterisierung von apoplastischen Proteinen in Brassica napus und Arabidopsis thaliana nach Infektion mit Verticillium longisporum
… pathogener Pilz, der auf die Pflanzenfamilie der Brassicaceae spezialisiert ist. Da V. longisporum ein vaskuläres Pathogen ist, welches die meiste Zeit seines Lebenszyklus in der Pflanze im Xylem lokalisiert ist, werden Abwehrreaktionen der Pflanze im extrazellulären Raum erwartet. In einer …

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 …
