Brassica rapa subsp. oleifera, etc ; agronomic traits; hypocotyls; naphthaleneacetic acid; secondary xylem; transcriptome; transcriptomics; turnips; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Turnip (Brassica campestris L. ssp. rapifera Matag syn. B. rapa L.) is characterized by bulbous hypocotyl-tuber, which is an important agronomic trait of the Brassica plants, but the molecular mechanism underlying the development of turnip hypocotyl-tuber has rarely been explored. Contrary to turnip, pak-choi (B. campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino syn. B. rapa ssp. chinensis) is characterized by ...

Abstract:
... Brassica napus L. (oilseed rape) is known as one of the most important volunteer crops worldwide. Brassica napus volunteers can emerge for more than 10 years in subsequent crops. Three field experiments were carried out to compare the competitive ability and reproduction of conventional and Clearfield volunteer B. napus in spring barley under different herbicide treatments in field conditions. Her ...

Abstract:
... Genotype, growth stages, and moisture regimes affect polyphenols as beneficial compounds in rapeseed with edible and medicinal properties. The aims of this study were to assess the effects of tissue, genotype background and moisture on growth, pigment composition, phenolic acids, flavonoids, antioxidant, and antiglycation activities in rapeseed. Treatments included two moisture regimes (10% field ...
... Exploration of the mechanisms of cadmium (Cd) activation mediated by the rhizosphere process is important to advance our understanding of Cd accumulation in plants. In this study, two oilseed rape cultivars (L338, L351) with varied Cd accumulation traits were applied and the responses of their rhizosphere ecology to Cd stress were investigated by metabolome and microbiome. The results showed that ...

Abstract:
... Agriculture is a major contributor to nitrate groundwater contamination. Hence, farmers are demanded to reduce the environmental impact but simultaneously must provide sufficient food products. One important building block for this “sustainable intensification” are appropriate cropping strategies. The potential of modified crop rotations was evaluated in a high-yielding environment in Northern Ger ...

Abstract:
... Experiments were performed to explore the impact of sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) on growth, Cu accumulation, and physiological and biochemical responses of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) inoculated with 5 mg/L Cu-amended MS medium supplemented with or without 300 mg/L SNPs exposure. Cu exerted severe phytotoxicity and inhibited plant growth. SNPs application enhanced the shoot height, root length ...

Abstract:
... Chelated mineral supplements are a combination of minerals with amino acids (AAs), putatively more efficient as fertilizers, especially for enhancing nutrient absorption. This study aimed at investigating the efficacy of foliar-applied calcium (Ca) and its complex with tryptophan to improve the vegetative growth, biochemical attributes and nutritional value of salt stressed broccoli (Brassica oler ...
Brassica fruticulosa; Brassica napus, etc ; Plenodomus lingam; fluorescence; hybridization; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Hybridization of Brassica napus with various Brassicaceae species can result in obtaining new forms with increased resistance to blackleg, a dangerous disease caused mainly by Leptosphaeria maculans. In this study, we aimed to correlate the field resistance of selected Brassica hybrids to blackleg with chromosomal structure revealed by Fluorescence in situ hybridization. Tested genotypes varied in ...
... A pot experiment was designed to assess the effects of different rootstocks on cadmium (Cd) accumulation and the growth of the post-grafting generations of Brassica juncea var. megarrhiza. Four treatments, including ungrafted and B. juncea var. megarrhiza as the scion grafted on the rootstocks of Brassica napus, Brassica chinensis and Brassica campestris respectively, were analysed. The three graf ...
Brassica napus; Brassica oleracea; Brassica rapa, etc ; Arabidopsis; Chinese cabbage; codons; hybridization; nitrates; phylogeny; sequence analysis; signal transduction; transcription factors; Show all 12 Subjects
Abstract:
... The NODULE-INCEPTION-like protein (NLP) is a plant-specific transcription factor (TF) family that plays an important role in both signal transduction and nitrate assimilation. However, the NLP gene family in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) has yet to be studied. Here we identified 17, 16, and 32 NLP genes in Chinese cabbage, Brassica oleracea, and Brassica napus, respectively. We found that duplic ...
... Cadmium (Cd) metal extraction through efficient plant roots has attracted much attention as this methodology is environment-friendly and cost-effective. Brassica species are well known for their tolerance towards high Cd concentration in contaminated soils. The tolerance ability may vary among species; hence the assessment of this variability is mandatory for selecting Brassica species. For this p ...
... Natural resources, especially agrarian soils, have been much contaminated with various pollutants including heavy metals since industrial revolution, so it is pertinent to utilize green technology, the so-called phytoremediation technology for reclamation of heavy metal-contaminated soils. A pot experiment was conducted to screen four different species (Brassica juncea, Brassica napus, Brassica ra ...
... Rapeseed (Brassica napus, AACC) was formed by hybridization between progenitor species Brassica rapa (AA) and Brassica oleracea (CC). As a result of a limited number of hybridization events between specific progenitor genotypes and strong breeding selection for oil quality traits, rapeseed has limited genetic diversity. The production of resynthesized B. napus lines via interspecific hybridization ...
Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra; Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis, etc ; domestication; genes; kale; quantitative trait loci; sequence analysis; vernalization; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE: We identified the loss of BoFLC gene as the cause of non-vernalization requirement in B. oleracea. Our developed codominant marker of BoFLC gene can be used for breeding program of B. oleracea crops. Many species of the Brassicaceae family, including some Brassica crops, require vernalization to avoid pre-winter flowering. Vernalization is an unfavorable trait for Chinese kale (Brassi ...

Abstract:
... Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) is a major vegetable crop in China. The accumulation of anthocyanins improves the quality and flavor of Brassica crops and is beneficial for human health. There has been great research interest in breeding purple Chinese cabbage, for which it is necessary to study the key genes and mechanisms of anthocyanin accumulation. Through distant hybridization between purple ...
... Biofertilizers are substances that promote plant growth through the efficacy of living microorganisms. The functional microbes comprising biofertilizers are effective mediators in plant-soil systems in the regulation of nitrogen cycling, especially in nitrification repression. However, the deterministic or stochastic distribution of the functional hotspot where microbes are active immediately afte ...

Abstract:
... Contarinia brassicola Sinclair (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is a recently described species found infesting canola (Brassica napus L. and Brassica rapa L., Brassicaceae) in western Canada. There is concern that C. brassicola could have economic impacts on canola production. To learn about its biology, distribution, natural enemies, and potential impact, we conducted a prairie‐wide survey in western Ca ...

Abstract:
... Processes of seed water absorption and germination are critical for seedling establishment. To investigate the effect of tetracycline (TC), a major-use antibiotic, at low levels (1–5 nM) on the two processes, we selected two sensitive species of Brassica seeds, including Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L.) and edible rape (Brassica napus L.), to establish the models of seed water absorption and ger ...

Abstract:
... DNA methylation plays an important role in plant growth and development, and in regulating the activity of transposable elements (TEs). Research on DNA methylation-related (DMR) genes has been reported in Arabidopsis, but little research on DMR genes has been reported in Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea, the genomes of which exhibit significant differences in TE content. In this study, we ident ...
