Canola (Brassica rapa) is an oilseed crop that is related to broccoli (Brassica oleracea var Italica) and turnip (Brassica campestris var Rapifera). The name ‘canola’ actually stands for ‘Canadian oil, low acid’. Canola’s low erucic acid content differentiates it from rapeseed (Brassica napus) and is sometimes referred to as LEAR or ‘low erucic acid rapeseed.’ Canola seed contains about 40% oil...

The growth of transgenic canola (Brassica napus) expressing a gene for the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase was compared to non-transformed canola exposed to flooding and elevated soil Ni concentration, in situ. In addition, the ability of the plant growth-promoting bacterium Pseudomonas putida UW4, which also expresses ACC deaminase, to facilitate the growth of non-tran...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary turmeric rhizome powder (trp) as a natural antioxidant, and soybean oil, canola oil and tallow on lipid metabolism, blood metabolites, immune system, and antioxidant status of broiler chickens before (bhs, 28 d) and after exposure to heat stress (ahs, 42 d). seven hundred and ninety two d-old male arian broilers were randomly allotted ...

A total of 1905 mixed sex day old broiler chickens were reared in environmentally controlled house for 5 weeks to study the production performance of chicks by feeding different levels of canola meal in their diets. The chickens were randomly allocated to five dietary treatment groups ( A, B, C, D and E ) having three replicates of 127 birds in each group. Groups A, B, C, D and E were fed pelle...

Canola producers in the Province of Qazvin were surveyed in order to explore their perceptionabout technical skills influencing the production of canola. Based on the perception ofrespondents, the results showed that the contact with agricultural service centers would encouragefarmers to produce canola. The results showed that there were relationship between perception ofrespondents about canol...

This study was carried out to determine the nutritive value of canola meal treated and untreated with 0.5% urea and microwave using nylon bags technique in Gizel sheep. Two fistulaed Gizel sheep with average BW 45±2 kg were used in a complete randomized design. The treatments were as following; A: canola meal, B: canola meal treated with 0.5% urea, C: canola meal treated with microwave. The rum...

abstract the plants which can be used to clean up the soil of heavy metals contamination are named phytoremedation. phytoremediation has received increasing attention because of its low environmental impact and cost-effectiveness. but, it is slowly process and needs long time. in such reson, chelating agents have been proposed to improve the efficiency of phytoextraction by increasing solubilit...
