Sinapis arvensis is a weed with strong biological activity. Despite being a problematic annual weed that contaminates agricultural crop yield, it is a valuable alien germplasm resource. It can be utilized for broadening the genetic background of Brassica crops with desirable agricultural traits like resistance to blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans), stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotium) and pod shatt...

It has been reported that wild Brassica and related species are widely distributed across Xinjiang, China, and there has been an argument for species identification. Seed coat microsculpturing (SCM) is known to be an excellent character for taxonomic and evolutionary studies. By identifying collections from Xinjiang, China, and combining SCM pattern, flow cytometry, and genome-specific DNA mark...

The increasing world population and developing industrial areas increase the need for energy. This situation makes alternative renewable energy sources efficient use of these more valuable. In this study, seeds Sinapis arvensis, Brassica nigra, napus from Brassicaceae family grown in ecological conditions Bayburt province Turkey, to determine usability potential wild species biodiesel productio...

Aims We investigate the effect of position within a size-structured population on the reproductive allocation (RA) and flowering probability of individual plants of Sinapis arvensis. We also assess the effects of plant size and changing level of CO2 on both responses. Methods Sinapis arvensis L., (field mustard), an annual agricultural weed, was grown in monoculture at six densities under ambie...

The inoculum sources of phytoplasmas associated with carrot severe yellowing and reddening symptoms were investigated in Ankara Konya provinces, Turkey. presence 16SrVI 16SrI-related the seeds seven cultivars that are widely cultivated regions, as well weeds fields, was determined this study. Sequence analysis confirmed existing phytoplasma groups samples by using conventional molecular methods...
