in the present study, the kinetics of biodiesel production through transesterification of brassica carinata oil with methanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide is investigated by kinetic monte carlo simulation. the obtained results from simulation agree qualitatively with the existing experimental data. the kinetics data for each step of suggested mechanism are confirmed by simulation. by ...

Seed lost due to easy pod dehiscence at maturity (pod shatter) is a major problem in several members of Brassicaceae family. We investigated the level of pod shatter resistance in Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata) and identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) for targeted introgression of this trait in Ethiopian mustard and its close relatives of the genus Brassica. A set of 83 accessions of...

The Brassica genus comprises many economically important worldwide cultivated crops. The well-established model of the Brassica genus, U's triangle, consists of three basic diploid plant species (Brassica rapa, Brassica oleracea, and Brassica nigra) and three amphidiploid species (Brassica napus, Brassica juncea, and Brassica carinata) that arose through interspecific hybridizations. Despite be...

Carinata (Brassica carinata A. Braun), a non-food oilseed and an alternative biofuel feedstock, has received attention for its potential as low-input option production in the semi-arid regions of Northern Great Plains (NGP). This study was conducted to (a) determine economic optimum N S fertilization rates (b) interactive effects on seed yield agronomic traits carinata. The field experiment 201...

Brassica carinata, an allotetraploid with B and C genomes, has a number of traits that would be valuable to introgress into B. napus. Interspecific hybrids were created between B. carinata (BBCC) and B. napus (AACC), using an advanced backcross approach to identify and introgress traits of agronomic interest from the B. carinata genome and to study the genetic changes that occur during the intr...

Brassica carinata, a nonfood oilseed crop, is used to produce renewable fuels because of its high oil content and favorable fatty acid profile. Production in the southeastern United States relatively new, information on agronomic management practices optimize growth yield limited. Since optimal seeding rate may depend land preparation method for this small-seeded study was conducted evaluate ef...

Biofuels play an important role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, but their production results gases such as nitrous oxide (N2O), mainly from nitrogen (N) fertilization. Brassica carinata (carinata) is unexplored winter crop world’s main cropping areas, with multiple applications (cover crop, jet biofuel, and animal feed, among others). We analyzed a set on-farm fertilization experi...

In this study, attempts were made to select in vitro responsible genotypes and to fuse the isolated protoplasts of Brassica carinata and Brassica napus breeding lines (BC DH Dodolla, BC DH -1, BC DH-6 and BN OP-1, BN-SL03/04), obtained from our previous experiments. Combination of three different PEG concentrations (20%, 25% or 30%) and two different treatment durations (15 and 20 min.) were te...

Brassica carinata has the potential to become an economical biofuel winter crop in Southeast U.S. An IPM program is needed provide management recommendations for B. region. This study serves as first steps developing tactics documenting pest occurrence, position within canopy, and impact of defoliation on yield. The was performed Jay, FL, during 2017–2018 2018–2019 winter/spring seasons. Pest s...
