Competitiveness of transgenic oilseed rape

Transgenic Research, 1995
The competitiveness of two transgenic oilseed rape (Brassica napus ssp.napus) lines and their fertile transgenic hybrid was tested in field trials in Belgium and Denmark. The lines contained genes for male sterility, restoration of fertility and herbicide resistance. The competitiveness of the three transgenic lines was related to three non-transformed

Chloroplast Transformation in Oilseed Rape

Transgenic Research, 2003
The chloroplast transformation vector pNRAB carries two expression cassettes for the spectinomycin resistance gene aadA and the insect resistance gene cry1Aa10. The two cassettes are sited between the rps7 and ndhB targeting fragments. Biolistic delivery of the vector DNA, followed by spectinomycin selection, yielded chloroplast transformants at a ...

Wetting characterizations of oilseed rapes

Journal of Bionic Engineering, 2016
Oilseed rape, widely cultivated all over the world, plays an important role for our daily life due to its high nutritional and economic values. In this paper, for the first time we discuss the surface wettability of oilseed rapes with special surface structures. It is found that the fresh rape flowers are superhydrophobic with a low Adhesion Force (AF),

Oilseed rape (swede rape)

Bee World, 1996
In 1919, when Bee World was first published, it had a regular feature quaintly called Apis and Flora. This was phased out in the mid 1920s and has only occasionally been revived since, with the new name of Plants for Bees. Considering the importance of plants to bees—there wouldn't be any bees without flowering plants—Bee World is beginning a new ...

Oilseed Rape Pathogens in France

2015
In France, a dozen of diseases can affect rapeseed, but Sclerotinia stem rot is the major disease for which chemical control remains the main way to prevent severe attacks. Five fungicide modes of action are effective against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and some solo or mixed products are registered in France.

Resistance to airflow of oilseed rape

Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research, 1988
Abstract Research was conducted to obtain data on resistance of oilseed rape to airflow in the range of 0·17 to 0·32 m/s. The samples were conditioned to six levels of moisture 19·6, 17·6, 15·5, 11·9, 8·83 and 6·46%(w.b.) before testing. Manometers were used to measure the pressure drop across the tappings.

Hover flies are efficient pollinators of oilseed rape

Oecologia, 2008
Understanding the consequences of declining diversity and abundance of pollinators for crops and floral biodiversity is a major challenge for current conservation ecology. However, most studies on this issue focus on bees, while other invertebrate taxa are largely ignored.

Fingerprinting of Oilseed Rape Cultivars

2007
Abstract Although oilseed rape was domesticated relatively recently, breeding of Brassica napus and other oilseed Brassicas has been very intensive in the last few decades. However, it has focused only on some of the most important agronomic/economic traits. Because of the convergent nature of this process in all areas of rape breeding, the genetic

The genomic origins of rape oilseed

Science, 2014
Plant Genetics Many domesticated plants arose through the meeting of multiple genomes through hybridization and genome doubling, known as polyploidy. Chalhoub et al. sequenced the polyploid genome of Brassica napus , which originated from a recent combination of two distinct genomes approximately 7500 years ago and gave rise to the crops of rape ...

Biocontrol of Oilseed Rape Pests

2003
BIOCONTROL IS A COMMONLY USED practice in entomology, but has long been overshadowed by the all too familiar “just spray it” philosophy that permeates much of agriculture. In the pre-DDT era, biocontrol was a standard control option for many insect pests.
