NAPUS 2000. Rapeseed (Brassica napus) breeding for improved human nutrition

Breeding Brassica napus for Shatter Resistance

Genome-Wide SNP Markers Based on SLAF-Seq Uncover Breeding Traces in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most abundant and richest form of genomic polymorphism, and hence make highly favorable markers for genetic map construction and genome-wide association studies. In this study, a total of 300 rapeseed accessions (278 representative of Chinese germplasm, plus 22 outgroup accessions of different origins and ecotypes) were collected and sequenced usin...

Brassica napus and diabetic complications

Introduction Chronic hyperglycemia results in diabetes associated complications development that is nowadays a global health disorder without efficient therapeutic application. Hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and oxidative damage are major reasons of diabetes accelerated renal and cardiovascular diseases. Hyperglycemia enhances oxidative injury of cellular macromolecules by making disruption of A...

Parental Selection of Hybrid Breeding Based On Maternal and Paternal Inheritance of Traits in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

Parental selection is crucial for hybrid breeding, but the methods available for such a selection are not very effective. In this study, a 6×6 incomplete diallel cross was designed using 12 rapeseed germplasms, and a total of 36 hybrids together with their parental lines were planted in 4 environments. Four yield-related traits and seed oil content (OC) were evaluated. Genetic distance (GD) was...

Research and Application of Cultivation-Simulation-Optimization Decision Making System for Rapeseed (Brassica Napus L.)

The objectives of this study were to develop Rapeseed Cultivation Simulation-Optimization-Decision Making System (Rape-CSODS), and validate it in order to design rapeseed planting, regulate and control its growth and development, and fulfill its high yield, good quality, high benefits, and standard production eventually. The models in Rape-CSODS were developed based on field experiments with 3 ...
