Enlarging the genetic diversity of winter oilseed rape (WOSR) by crossing with spring oilseed rape (SOSR)

Influence of development stage of spring oilseed rape and spring

10 The dry and wet deposition of radionuclides released into the atmosphere can be 11 intercepted by vegetation in terrestrial ecosystems. The aim of this study was to quantify the 12 interception of wet deposited Cs and Sr by spring oilseed rape (Brassíca napus L.) and 13 spring wheat (Tríticum aestívum L.). The dependency of the intercepted fraction (f) on total 14 above ground plant biomass,...

Recent Genetic Gains in Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Oilseed Rape

Nitrogen is essential for plant growth, and N fertilization allows farmers to obtain high yields and produce sufficient agricultural commodities. On the other hand, nitrogen losses potentially cause adverse effects to ecosystems and to human health. Increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is vital to solve the conflict between productivity, to secure the demand of a growing world population, a...

Identification of Drought Tolerant Oilseed Rape Genotypes using Multivariate Analysis

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Drought stress as one of the most important abiotic stress is the main limiting factor of oilseed rape cultivation in arid and semi-arid climates. Therefore, the identification of drought tolerant genotypes is the essential programs in these regions. One of the appropriate methods to identify drought tolerant genotypes is the use of stress toleranc...

The Use of Herbicides in Biotech Oilseed Rape Cultivation and in Generation of Transgenic Homozygous Plants of Winter Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)

Long-term persistence of GM oilseed rape in the seedbank.

Coexistence between genetically modified (GM) and non-GM plants is a field of rapid development and considerable controversy. In crops, it is increasingly important to understand and predict the GM volunteer emergence in subsequent non-GM crops. Theoretical models suggest recruitment from the seedbank over extended periods, but empirical evidence matching these predictions has been scarce. Here...
