Seeds per silique (SS), seed weight (SW), and silique length (SL) are important determinant traits of seed yield potential in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), and are controlled by naturally occurring quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Mapping QTLs to narrow chromosomal regions provides an effective means of characterizing the genetic basis of these complex traits. Orychophragmus violaceus is a cruci...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and mustard juncea are two important oilseed crops grown worldwide for edible oil meal production, as well as, a source of renewable energy. Silique shattering at the maturity stage is major cause seed yield reduction in brassica. Losses more developing countries due to poor management non-availability combine harvesters. resistance essential achieving good especial...

An open, continuous flow system was used to investigate ethylene production during degreening of maturing seed of mustard (Brassica juncea cv Cutlass and cv Lethbridge 22A) and canola (Brassica napus cv Westar and cv Alto). Isolated mustard seed evolved higher amounts of ethylene than those of canola, and this was particularly evident both early in embryogeny and later during the desiccation ph...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most important oil crops almost all over the world. Seed-related traits, including oil content (OC), silique length (SL), seeds per silique (SS), and seed weight (SW), are primary targets for oil yield improvement. To dissect the genetic basis of these traits, 192 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were derived from two parents with distinct oil content a...

Eukaryotic cold shock domain proteins are nucleic acid-binding proteins that are involved in transcription, translation via RNA chaperone activity, RNA editing, and DNA repair during tissue developmental processes and stress responses. Cold shock domain proteins have been functionally implicated in important developmental transitions, including embryogenesis, in both animals and plants. Arabido...

Crop production largely depends on need based application of nutrients and for maximizing the yield mustard, it is essential that mustard should not suffer due to inadequate supply mineral nutrition. In this regard, a field experiment was conducted at Research Farm, Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur during Rabi season 2018-19, study effect nitrogen sulphur economics [Brassica juncea (L.)]. ...

To appraise the effect of drought stress on foraging behavior (visitation frequency and visitation rate) insect pollinators its ultimate impact reproductive success canola (Brassica napus L.), an experiment was carried out at Research Farm MNSUniversity Agriculture, Multan, Pakistan. Previously, only a few studies have evaluated as predictor plant-pollinator interactions. Normal irrigated plots...
