This study explored the role of exogenous ?-Toc (0.5 mM) and Asc (1 in alleviating damaging effects salt stress rapeseed plants (Brassica campestris cv. BARI Sarisha-17). Exposure 21-day-old to different levels (75 mM 150 NaCl) resulted higher accumulation sodium ions (Na+), reduced potassium ion (K+) levels, lower K+/Na+ ratio, increased oxidative damage, chlorophyll (Chl) breakdown, disrupted...

Maternal environment has been demonstrated to produce considerable impact on offspring growth. However, few studies have been carried out to investigate multi-generational maternal effects of elevated CO(2) on plant growth and development. Here we present the first report on the responses of plant reproductive, photosynthetic, and cellular characteristics to elevated CO(2) over 15 generations u...

to assess moisture stress tolerance at the reproductive growth stage in 11 promising genotypes of spring rapeseed (brassica napus l.), two field experiments were conducted in two growing seasons (2008-2010) at the agricultural research center of safiabad, dezful, iran. genotypes were sown under two non-stress (well-irrigated) and moisture stress (irrigation ceased at flowering) conditions using...

Aim: Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (Linn.)] is the third vital oilseed crop in world which contributes 28.6% production of oilseeds. Genetic diversity assessment plays a fundamental role preservation and improvement targeted plant species.
 Study Design: In present investigation, 196 genotypes including checks were grown field evaluated based on different morpho-physiological traits.&#x0...

A crucial aim for rapeseed breeders is increasing the seed yield through improving yield- and silique-related traits. In this research, traits including number of seeds per silique, silique length, width, thousand-seed weight combined with coat color were investigated. Yellow-seeded lines oilseed rape have a thinner coat, lower fiber content, higher protein oil content than traditional varietie...

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) characteristically has high N uptake efficiency and low N utilization efficiency (NUtE, seed yield/shoot N accumulation). Determining the NUtE phenotype of various genotypes in different growth conditions is a way of finding target traits to improve oilseed rape NUtE. The aim of this study was to compare oilseed rape genotypes grown on contrasting N supply rates in...

Four rapeseed cultivars (Hayola 401, Hayola 308, RGS and Option) were evaluated for some physiological traits under stress (50 % field capacity (FC) and non-stress (irrigated) conditions. The factorial set of treatments was arranged within a randomized complete block design with three replications. The collected data were analyzed using path and factor analyses. These is results showed that...
