Improving seed oil yield and quality are central targets in rapeseed (Brassica napus) breeding. The primary goal of our study was to examine and compare the potential and the limits of marker-assisted selection and genome-wide prediction of six important seed quality traits of B. napus. Our study is based on a bi-parental population comprising 202 doubled haploid lines and a diverse validation ...

Regular foetal development is crucial for assuring good health status in the offspring. The quality and quantity of maternal dietary fatty acids (FAs) can affect growth. The study aimed to: (1) investigate the association of maternal/foetal lipid profiles with birth weight (BW); and (2) compare these profiles in small, appropriate, and large for gestational age (SGA, AGA, and LGA) infants. FAs ...

Introduction The traditional type is high erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR), generally used for cooking in countries like India and Bangladesh, typically contains between 40% and 50 % erucic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9fatty acid, denoted 22:1 ω-9 has undesirable effects on healthspecially on cardiac tissue (Kramer et al., 1982). The normal level of AST, ALT and ALP in rat blood is 45.7-80.8 U/L, ...

methanolic extracts of five native species of salvia from the labiatae family were evaluated for antioxidant activity in low-erucic acid rapeseed oil using the schaal oven test at 60°c, with deterioration monitored by determination of peroxide value, conjugated diene content and p-anisidine value. the activity of the salvia extracts was compared with that of tbhq, ascorbyl palmitate, and extrac...

The carcass composition of piglets fed artificial milk was compared to sow-reared piglets. The artificial milk diets contained 25%, by weight, soybean oil or mixtures of canola and high erucic acid rapeseed oil. Both the total lipid and nitrogen (apparent) digestibility of the artificial milk diets was high, even when the dietary oil contained high levels of erucic acid. Sow-reared animals were...

Rhizoremediation is a complex type of green clean-up technology that involves both plants and the rhizosphere-associated microorganisms to decompose hazardous compounds. The success of the strategy strongly depends on plant tolerance towards the pollutant, as well as plant's interactions with the rhizospheric microbes. The microorganisms may be stimulated by the secreted root exudates, which re...

In this study, total lipid and fatty acid profiles of Barbus tauricus samples which were obtained from Melen River Basin during winter, spring, summer seasons, evaluated. Total levels determined 2.27%, 2.37%, 4.34% in summer, respectively. The study also that the carbon count 30 acids, composing fat compositions B. caught Basin, ranges among 12-24. major acids are palmitic stearic SFA; palmitol...
