Susceptibility of the early growth stages of volunteer oilseed rape to invertebrate predation
Plant Protection Science, 2012 Chemical and agronomical control of volunteer plants is difficult, especially in reduced-input cropping systems where feeding by natural herbivores may become an important cause of their mortality.

Burial and seed survival in Brassica napus subsp. oleifera and Sinapis arvensis including a comparison of transgenic and non-transgenic lines of the crop [PDF]
, 1997 The creation of transgenic plants through genetic engineering has focused interest on how the fitness of a plant species may be altered by small changes in its genome. This study concentrates on a key component of fitness: persistence of seeds overwinter.

Root enhancement in cytokinin-deficient oilseed rape causes leaf mineral enrichment, increases the chlorophyll concentration under nutrient limitation and enhances the phytoremediation capacity [PDF]
, 2019 Background Cytokinin is a negative regulator of root growth, and a reduction of the cytokinin content or signalling causes the formation a larger root system in model plants, improves their growth under drought and nutrient limitation and causes ...

Modelling seedbank dynamics of volunteer oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
Agricultural Systems, 2005 A simple mechanistic model is presented which describes population dynamics of volunteer oilseed rape within a field. The model calculates the number of volunteers appearing in each crop and the seedbank after each crop. The main input variables are harvesting losses when the crop is oilseed rape, crop rotation, soil cultivation, soil moisture content ...

Transcriptome profiling of Brassica napus stem sections in relation to differences in lignin content
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background Brassica crops are cultivated widely for human consumption and animal feed purposes, and oilseed rape/canola (Brassica napus and rapa) is the second most important oilseed worldwide.

Leaves play a central role in the adaptation of nitrogen and sulfur metabolism to ammonium nutrition in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) [PDF]
, 2010 Background: The coordination between nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) assimilation is required to suitably provide plants with organic compounds essential for their development and growth.

Temporary nutrient deficiency - a difficult case for diagnosis and prognosis by plant analysis [PDF]
, 2000 Plant analysis aims to either detect deficiency at the time of sampling (diagnosis) or predict its occurrence at a later stage of growth (prognosis). Its use is based on the presumption that the plant nutrient status will either be constant with plant ...

Cultural control of volunteer oilseed rape (Brassica napus)
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1998 Laboratory studies on the biology of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) showed that the induction of secondary dormancy is influenced by light environment, time of exposure to light and darkness, temperature regime and genotype. Seeds did not become dormant while exposed to light but were increasingly likely to become dormant the longer they were ...
