A high yield method for protoplast isolation and ease detection of rol B and C genes in the hairy roots of cauliflflower (Brassica oleracea L.) inoculated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes [PDF]
Vol 8, 2022, 415-420, 2023 Protoplasts represent a unique experimental system for the circulation and formation of genetically modified plants. Here, protoplasts were isolated from genetically modified hairy root tissues of Brassica oleracea L. induced by the Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain (ATCC13332).

Temporal Prediction and Evaluation of Brassica Growth in the Field using Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks [PDF]
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture 190 (2021) 106415, 2021 Farmers frequently assess plant growth and performance as basis for making decisions when to take action in the field, such as fertilization, weed control, or harvesting. The prediction of plant growth is a major challenge, as it is affected by numerous and highly variable environmental factors.

Conversion of cDNA differential display results (DDRT-PCR) into quantitative transcription profiles [PDF]
BMC Genomics 6/51 (2005) 1-12, 2014 Background: Gene expression studies on non-model organisms require open-end strategies for transcription profiling. Gel-based analysis of cDNA fragments allows to detect alterations in gene expression for genes which have neither been sequenced yet nor are available in cDNA libraries. Commonly used protocols are cDNA Differential Display (DDRT-PCR) and

Development and characterization of Brassica juncea fruticulosa introgression lines exhibiting resistance to mustard aphid [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Mustard aphid is a major pest of Brassica oilseeds. No source for aphid resistance is presently available in Brassica juncea . A wild crucifer, Brassica fruticulosa is known to be resistant to mustard aphid. An artificially synthesized amphiploid, AD-4 (B. fruticulosa x B. rapa var. brown sarson) was developed for use as a bridge species to

Size and location of radish 1 chromosome regions carrying the fertility restorer Rfk1 gene in spring turnip rape [PDF]
Chromosome Research 2012, 20(3): 353-361, 2012 In spring turnip rape (Brassica rapa L. spp. oleifera) the most promising F1 hybrid system would be the Ogu-INRA CMS/Rf system. A Kosena fertility restorer gene Rfk1, homologue of the Ogura restorer gene Rfo, was successfully transferred from oilseed rape into turnip rape and that restored the fertility in female lines carrying Ogura cms. The trait was,

A Study on the Wetting Properties of Broccoli Leaf Surfaces and their Time Dependent Self-Healing After Mechanical Damage [PDF]
, 2019 Plants are protected from the elements by a complex hierarchical epicuticular wax layer which has inspired the creation of super-hydrophobic and self-cleaning surfaces. Although many studies have been conducted on different plant wax systems to determine the mechanisms of water repulsion hardly any have studied the recovery of the epicuticular wax ...

MIK2 is a candidate gene of the S-locus for sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI) in chicory (Cichorium intybus, Asteraceae) [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The Cichorium genus offers a unique opportunity to study the sporophytic self incompatibility (SSI) system, being composed of species characterized by highly efficient SI (C. intybus) and complete self compatibility (C. endivia). The chicory genome was used to map 7 previously identified SSI locus-associated markers.

Biochemical mechanism of resistance in some Brassica genotypes against Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) (Homoptera: Aphididae) [PDF]
Vegetos 2017, 26(2): 387-395, 2017 Two years study was carried out during 2006-07 and 2007-08 crop seasons to study the response of different genotypes of oilseeds Brassica to Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) infestation both under field and screen house conditions and to find out the relationship of various biochemical constituents to aphid infestation.

Quantification of avoidable yield losses in oilseed Brassica caused by insect pests [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection Research, 51(1): 38-43 (2011), 2017 A six year field study was conducted from 2001 2002 to 2006 2007 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India to study the losses in seed yield of different Brassica species (B. juncea, B. napus, B. carinata, B. rapa and Eruca sativa) by the infestation of insect pests. The experiment was conducted in two different sets viz. protected/sprayed and

Potential Phytoextraction with in-vitro regenerated plantlets of Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. in presence of CdCl$_2$: Cadmium accumulation and physiological parameter measurement [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Heavy metal contamination of agricultural land is partly responsible for limiting crop productivity. Cd$^{2+}$ is known as a non-essentiel HM that can be harmful to plants even at low concentrations. Brassica juncea (L.) is able to accumulate more than 400 $\mu$g.g$^{-1}$ D.W.
