Previous QTL mapping identified a Brassica nigra homolog to Arabidopsis thaliana CO as a candidate gene affecting flowering time in B. nigra. Transformation of an A. thaliana co mutant with two different alleles of the B. nigra CO (Bni COa) homolog, one from an early-flowering B. nigra plant and one from a late one, did not show any differential effect of the two alleles on flowering time. The ...

Differences in plant and herbivore community assemblages between exotic and native ranges may select for different levels of plant traits in invasive and native populations of plant species. Little is currently known of how herbivores may mediate competitive and facilitative interactions between invasive and native populations of plant species and their plant neighbors. Here, we conducted a com...

This study was conducted to explore the effects of different forage types (fresh, hay and silage) on chemical composition, quality in vitro true digestibility (IVTD) fodder turnip (Brassica rapa), mustard nigra) canola napus L.). Ankom Daisy incubator used determine IVTD forages were incubated for 48 hours. According findings this study, silage have highest ether extract (EE) content, while has...

Glucosinolates (GSLs) are important secondary metabolites in Brassicales related to insect and disease resistance, flavor formation, human health. Here, we determined the GSL profile with sinigrin as predominant Brassica nigra. A total of 184 biosynthetic genes (BniGSLs) were identified B. nigra by a genome-wide search for orthologs 82 95 known Arabidopsis thaliana. Transcriptome data demonstra...

The efficacy of synthetic insecticides to control malaria vectors is compromised by increased mosquito resistance insecticides.Furthermore, the use inorganic raises serious environmental toxicity concerns. It hoped that this review wouldincorporate plant-based tools in modern vector at community level. Therefore syntheticinsecticides challenge faced for because mosquitoes and their theenvironme...

PURPOSE This study was made to investigate the antihyperglycemic and antioxidant potential of oil of seeds of Brassica nigra (BNO) in streptozotocin -nicotinamide (STZ) induced type 2 diabetic rats. METHODS BNO was orally administered to diabetic rats to study its effect in both acute and chronic antihyperglycemic study. The body weight, oral glucose tolerance test and biochemical parameters ...

An insertion/deletion polymorphism (Ind2) in the Brassica nigra CONSTANS LIKE 1 (Bni COL1) gene was previously found to be associated with variation in flowering time. In the present study we examine the inter-specific divergence of COL1 in the family Brassicaceae. Analysis of codon substitution models did not reveal evidence of positive Darwinian selection, but comparisons of the COL1 gene in ...
