The progress made in DNA marker technology has been tremendous and exciting. DNA
markers have provided valuable tools in various analyses ranging from phylogenetic …

The availability of a highly efficient and reliable microspore culture protocol for many
Brassica species makes this system useful for studying basic and applied research …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) was formed~ 7500 years ago by hybridization between B.
rapa and B. oleracea, followed by chromosome doubling, a process known as …

We have developed a new DH map** population for oilseed rape, named TNDH, using
genetically and phenotypically diverse parental lines. We used the population in the …

We constructed a Brassica napus genetic map with 240 simple sequence repeats (SSR)
primer pairs from private and public origins. SSR, or microsatellites, are highly polymorphic …

In oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) like in most oleaginous crops, seed oil content is the
main qualitative determinant that confers its economic value to the harvest. Increasing seed …

Context With the increasing global food and oil security problems, improvement in rapeseed
(Brassica napus L.) yield become urgent. Moreover, previous studies rarely used the semi …

We describe the construction of a reference genetic linkage map for the Brassica A genome,
which will form the backbone for anchoring sequence contigs for the Multinational Brassica …

The introgression of winter germplasm into spring canola (Brassica napus L.) represents a
novel approach to improve seed yield of hybrid spring canola. In this study, quantitative trait …

A scheme of selection combining selfing and backcross was applied to a B. napus line with
the blackleg resistance from B. juncea in order to transfer this resistance to a winter oilseed …
