Effects of Environmental Factors on Development of Pyrenopeziza brassicae (Light Leaf Spot) Apothecia on Oilseed Rape Debris.

Sulphur supply and infection with Pyrenopeziza brassicae influence L-cysteine desulphydrase activity in Brassica napus L.

Different field surveys have shown that sulphur (S) fertilization can increase the resistance of agricultural crops against fungal pathogens. The mechanisms of this sulphur-induced resistance (SIR) are, however, not yet known. Volatile S compounds are thought to play an important role because H(2)S is toxic to fungi. A field experiment was conducted to analyse the influence of S fertilization a...

Analysis of leaf appearance , leaf death and phoma leaf spot , 1 caused by Leptosphaeria maculans , on oilseed rape ( Brassica 2 napus ) cultivars

The expression patterns of SAG12/Cab genes reveal the spatial and temporal progression of leaf senescence in Brassica napus L. with sensitivity to the environment.

Despite a high nitrate uptake capacity, the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of oilseed rape is weak due to a relatively low N remobilization from vegetative (mostly leaves) to growing parts of the plant. Thus, this crop requires a high rate of N fertilization and leaves fall with a high N content. In order to reduce the rate of N fertilization and to improve the environmental impact of oilseed ra...

(Eruca sativa L.), radish (Raphanus sativus L.), oilseed rape (Raphanus sativus L. var. oleifera Met- zg.) and Indian mustard or leaf mustard (Brassica juncea

Alternaria brassicae and A. brassicicola are the major leaf pathogens on Brassicaceae throughout the world. Here we report a spatio-temporal survey of naturally occurring isolates of these fungi in the Brazilian neotropics. Both fungi were able to induce similar symptoms in common hosts. The fungus A. brassicicola was more frequently isolated (187/322), being prevalent on the Brassica oleracea ...

Transformation And Light Inducible Expression of cry1Ab Gene in Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is the third most important oil crop in global productions. One of the major limiting factors for oilseed rape production is lepidopteran pests of the Brassicaceae family. Transgenic plants expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) genes are powerful tools in the integrated pest management of crop plants. In the present study, we used a synthetic Bt insecticidal crysta...
