Crop populations derived from experimental crosses enable the genetic dissection of
complex traits and support modern plant breeding. Among these, multi-parent populations …

Plant abiotic stresses negative affects growth and development, causing a massive
reduction in global agricultural production. Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a major oilseed …

Homoeologous exchanges (HE s) have been shown to generate novel gene combinations
and phenotypes in a range of polyploid species. Gene presence/absence variation (PAV) is …

In polyploid species, altering a trait by random mutagenesis is highly inefficient due to gene
redundancy. We have stably transformed tetraploid oilseed rape (Brassica napus) with a …

Today's increasingly unequal and resource intensive development model degrades and
surpasses Earth's finite capacity to sustain human well-being. Society must restore this …

Plant genomes demonstrate significant presence/absence variation (PAV) within a species;
however, the factors that lead to this variation have not been studied systematically in …

Brassica napus is an economically important crop across different continents including
temperate and subtropical regions in Europe, Canada, South Asia, China and Australia. Its …

De novo allopolyploidization in Brassica provides a very successful model for reconstructing
polyploid genomes using progenitor species and relatives to broaden crop gene pools and …

Allopolyploid Brassica juncea crops in Brassicaceae are becoming increasingly revitalized
as vegetables and oilseeds owing to wide adaptability and significant economic values …

The model plant family Brassicaceae, also known as Cruciferae, is among the largest
angiospermic family belonging to the order Brassicales. The family consists of annuals …
