water deficit is a major factor influencing yield of canola (brassica napus l.) seed yield and oil content. a field experiment was conducted during 2010 growing season in the agriculture research station of torogh, mashhad, iran to evaluate responses of canola cultivars to limited water. experimental design was rcbd pattern with three replications. treatments were two irrigation regimes (based ...

ABSTRACT- Different soil potassium (K) pools including soluble, exchangeable and non-exchangeable in surface and subsurface soils may be totally used by canola roots at different growth stages under drought conditions. A field experiment was conducted for one growing season (2013-2014) to study K pools changes during growth stages of two rapeseed cultivars under drought. The experiment was arra...

Rapeseed protein consists mainly of the seed storage cruciferin and napin. Cruciferin napin have different nutritional values techno-functional properties. Shifting cruciferin/napin ratio towards either more or could allow diversified applications. The objective this study was to investigate genetic variation in modern winter rapeseed cultivars. contents were analysed by SDS-PAGE. Genetic for b...

drought causes significant reductions in crop productivity in many parts of the world, including iran. identifying genotypes tolerant to drought stress is therefore one of the foremost goals of crop breeding programs. this study investigated the effect of terminal drought stress on yield and yield components of new winter rapeseed lines, and identified new winter rapeseed lines tolerant to term...

in order to identify drought stress tolerance in rapeseed, nine commercial rapeseed cultivars (opera, karaj1, karaj2, karaj3, zarfam, okapi, talayeh, licord and modena) were evaluated under two conditions (normal and drought stress) in kangavar region in the west iran in 2014-2015 growing season. this research was carried out in a split plot experiment based on completely randomized design in f...

to study the effects of sowing dates on seed germination and on seed vigor of 12 spring rapeseed cultivars, an experiment was performed in years 2005-2006. during the first year, 12 cultivars of spring rapeseed were planted in the research field of seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran. during the second year, standard germination test was conducted to study the performance of the s...
