Root traits and microbial community interactions in relation to phosphorus availability and acquisition, with particular reference to Brassica [PDF]
Brassicas are among the most widely grown and important crops worldwide. Phosphorus (P) is a key mineral element in the growth of all plants and is largely supplied as inorganic rock-phosphate, a dwindling resource, which is likely to be an increasingly ...

Allele mining in Brassicas screened for A. brassicae resistance
The non-expresser of pathogenesis related gene 1 (NPR1) has been an important component of the SA/JA mediated mechanism of defence in plants. Brassicas have been major group of crop plants that are facing huge yield losses due to biotic stresses especially through Alternaria blight caused by Alternaria brassicae.

Molecular biology of the Oleosin gene family of Brassica napus [PDF]
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is a valuable oil producing crop plant. Oil is produced by developing seeds and constitutes 45% of the dry seed weight. Storage oil is deposited as triacylglycerol in spherical structures called oil bodies.

Differential effects of jasmonic acid treatment of Brassica nigra on the attraction of pollinators, parasitoids, and butterflies [PDF]
Herbivore-induced plant defences influence the behaviour of herbivores as well as that of their natural enemies. Jasmonic acid is one of the key hormones involved in both these direct and indirect induced defences.

The impact of light heterogeneity in controlled environment agriculture on biomass of microgreens
Yield is impacted by the environmental conditions that plants are exposed to. Controlled environmental agriculture provides growers with an opportunity to fine-tune environmental conditions for optimising yield and crop quality.

BRASSICA NAPUS: BIOREMEDIATION
Contaminated environments such as soils possess a primary problem for healthy agriculture. The soils should be decontaminated by biological means in order to be used for long term sustainable agriculture.
