sowing date is an important determinant of yield in canola. cultivation of winter rapeseed cultivars in semi arid regions of iran however it has high potential for production, but, mentioned cultivars are late maturity and this late maturity cause to that silique formation and seed filling periods mature in the same time with hot and dry weather condition. in contrast, spring rapeseed cultivars...

Glucosinolates are sulphur containing secondary metabolites biosynthesized by many plant species in the order Brassicales. Physical tissue or cell injury leads to the breakdown of glucosinolates through the hydrolytic action of the enzyme myrosinase, resulting in the production of compounds including isothiocynates, thiocyanates and nitriles. Derivative compounds of glucosinolates have a wide r...

Eight winter rapeseed genotypes GA096, Geronimo, Okapi, Orient, Sunday, Zarfam, SW0756, and Modena were used as parents of a complete diallel mating design. A set of 56 diallel F1 hybrids (with reciprocals) including their parents were evaluated in a 8×8 simple lattice design with two replications during 2007/08. Several agronomic traits like Plant height, number of lateral branches per pod, nu...

Isolation of rapeseed plants containing no erucie acid in their seed oil gave simultaneous selection for low eieosenoic acid. Genetic analysis of populations segregating for erueie acid content indicated that the synthesis of these fa t ty acids was controlled, in the developing embryo, by two genes which displayed no dominance and acted in an additive manner. As the genetic capacity for crucie...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most important oil crops in the world. However, the yield and quality of rapeseed were largely decreased by clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin). Therefore, it is of great importance for screening more resistant germplasms or genes and improving the resistance to P. brassicae in rapeseed breeding. In this study, a massive resistant identificatio...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is an important oil crop worldwide and exhibits significant heterosis. Effective pollination control systems, which are closely linked to anther development, are a prerequisite for utilizing heterosis. The anther, which is the male organ in flowering plants, undergoes many metabolic processes during development. Although the gene expression patterns underlying polle...

The steady increase in global consumption puts a strain on agriculture and might lead to a decrease in food quality. Currently used techniques of food analysis are often labour-intensive and time-consuming and require extensive sample preparation. For that reason, there is a demand for novel methods that could be used for rapid food quality assessment. A technique based on the use of an array o...

I . Emulsions with egg phosphatides of nine synthetic triglycerides (tributyrin, tricaprylin, tripelargonin, tricaprin, trilaurin, trimyristin, tripahitin, triisostearin, triolein) and of rapeseed oil and a proprietary emulsion of cottonseed oil were given as continuous infusions into the jugular vein of lactating sows. The effects of the infusions on the concentration and composition of blood ...
