ABSTRACT Kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) is mostly produced by urban growers in Brazil, but little known about the diversity and management of diseases for sustainable agriculture. The present study investigated occurrence cultivation kale two regions representing climate conditions Cwa (Lavras - MG) Aw (Campina Grande PB) according to Köppen Geiger classification, as well factors that c...

Purpose of the present work is to investigate the mutagenic effects of ionizing radiations (gamma rays) on Brassica campestris L. accession no IC363713. Homogeneous seeds of Brassica were irradiated at four doses of gamma rays i.e. 150 Gy, 300 Gy, 450 Gy and 600 Gy by the gamma-chamber type Co at the dose rate of 2 second/Gy. During microsporogenesis, meiotic analysis of young floral buds was c...

Present investigation reports the mutagenic efficacy of sodium azide with a view to study its effects on meiotic behavior and phenotypic quantitative traits of Brassica campestris L. Seeds were treated with three concentration of sodium azide i.e. 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.7%, along with control. Morphological/phenotypic parameters studied were plant height, number of primary branches, number of seconda...

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2022 at the Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) India. To study Response Sulphur Spacing on growth yield Toria. The treatments consist 15, 30, 45 kg/ha, 20×15, 20×20, 25×20 cm. There were 10 each replicated thrice. soil expe...

Adhesion of pollen grains to the stigmatic surface is a critical step during sexual reproduction in plants. In Brassica, S locus-related glycoprotein 1 (SLR1), a stigma-specific protein belonging to the S gene family of proteins, has been shown to be involved in this step. However, the identity of the interacting counterpart in pollen and the molecular mechanism of this interaction have not bee...

The crucifer family includes self-incompatible genera, such as Brassica, and self-fertile genera, such as Arabidopsis. To gain insight into mechanisms underlying the evolution of mating systems in this family, we used a selective comparative mapping approach between Brassica campestris plants homozygous for the S8 haplotype and Arabidopsis. Starting with markers flanking the self-incompatibilit...
