Improvement of Resistance to Clubroot Disease in the Ogura CMS Restorer Line R2163 of Brassica napus
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) has significant heterosis and Ogura CMS is a major way to use it. Ogura CMS has the advantages of complete and stable male sterility and easy-to-breed maintainers. Therefore, to breed better restorers has become an important

The CACTA transposon Bot1 played a major role in Brassica genome divergence and gene proliferation [PDF]
We isolated and characterized a Brassica C genome-specific CACTA element, which was designated Bot1 (Brassica oleracea transposon 1). After analysing phylogenetic relationships, copy numbers and sequence similarity of Bot1 and Bot1 analogues in B ...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum causes a highly destructive disease in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) resulting in significant economic losses. Studies on the Arabidopsis thaliana MPK4 loss-of-function mutant have implicated that AtMPK4 is involved in plant ...

Evaluation of nine genotypes of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) for larval infestation and performance of rape stem weevil (Ceutorhynchus napi Gyll.). [PDF]
The rape stem weevil, Ceutorhynchus napi Gyll., is a serious pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) crops in Europe causing severe yield loss. In currently used oilseed rape cultivars no resistance to C. napi has been identified.

Herbivore induction of the glucosinolate-myrosinase defense system: major trends, biochemical bases and ecological significance [PDF]
Like many other plant defense compounds, glucosinolates are present constitutively in plant tissues, but are also induced to higher levels by herbivore attack.

New data on spider fauna from northern Serbia [PDF]
During two years of research on the epigeic fauna in agroecosystems of northern Serbia, which was conducted as a part of SEE-ERA NET PLUS project no. 51, 5488 spider specimens were collected at three fields with oilseed rape (Brassica napus var.

Management of herbicide-tolerant oilseed rape in Europe: a case study on minimizing vertical gene flow [PDF]
The potential commercialization of genetically modified herbicide-tolerant (GMHT) oilseed rape in Europe raises various concerns about their potential environmental and agronomic impacts, especially those associated with the escape of transgenes.

Case Study 2: Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.) [PDF]
SPAGE (Self-Propagating Artificial Genetic Element) technologies allow for a proliferation of genetic information on the population level at a higher rate than usual Mendelian inheritance. Currently projected developments of SPAGE mainly aim at a reduction or suppression of animal populations which are considered to be harmful or undesirable (Oye et al.
