Brassica napus (canola) cultivars and isolates of the blackleg fungus, Leptosphaeria maculans interact in a 'gene for gene' manner whereby plant resistance (R) genes are complementary to pathogen avirulence (Avr) genes. Avirulence genes encode proteins that belong to a class of pathogen molecules known as effectors, which includes small secreted proteins that play a role in disease. In Australi...

A canola (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera) é uma espécie oleaginosa de grande importância econômica para alimentação humana e animal produção biodiesel. Na busca por maiores avanços na obtenção sementes qualidade, o uso teste vigor imprescindível. Nesse sentido, objetivo do trabalho foi adequar a metodologia deterioração controlada avaliação canola. Para tanto, quatro lotes híbrido Nuola 300 fo...

Millipedes are known by their importance in ecological systems, although some species regarded as agricultural pests poly- or monocultures. Canola (Brassicaceae: Brassica spp.) is an important feedstock for biodiesel production and a potential ingredient the food industry, but with several arthropod causing damage to its cultivation. In this perspective, study reports still unknown relation of ...

Abstract Diversified crop rotation with an appropriate sequence may be a promising strategy for increasing productivity while reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and lowering carbon (C) footprint more sustainable agricultural systems. The objectives of this study were to (i) assess the agronomic performance C canola ( Brassica napus L.) production in different cropping systems, (ii) better...

Concerns regarding the commercial release of genetically engineered (GE) crops include naturalization, introgression to sexually compatible relatives and the transfer of beneficial traits to native and weedy species through hybridization. To date there have been few documented reports of escape leading some researchers to question the environmental risks of biotech products. In this study we co...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is an important oilseed crop. A serious problem in cultivation of this crop andyield loss, are due to fungal disease stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The pathogenesis-related(PR) proteins have the potential for enhancing resistance against fungal pathogen. Thaumatin-like proteins(TLPs) have been shown to have antifungal activity on variou...

Pest management practices may be contributing to a decline in wild bee populations in or near canola (Brassica napus L.) agroecosystems. The objective of this study was to investigate the direct contact toxicity of five technical grade insecticides--imidacloprid, clothianidin, deltamethrin, spinosad, and novaluron--currently used, or with potential for use in canola integrated pest management o...
