Iftikhar, R., Wang, X., Rahman, Habibur
Broadening the genetic base of the C genome of Brassica napus canola by use of B. oleracea is important. In this study, the prospect of developing B. napus canola lines from B. napus × B. oleracea var. alboglabra, botrytis, italica and capitata crosses and the effect of backcrossing the F1’s to...

Background Traditional canola (Brassica napus L.; AACC, 2n = 38) cultivars yield seed oil with a relatively high proportion of α-linolenic acid (ALA; C18:3cisΔ9,12,15), which is desirable from a health perspective. Unfortunately, due to the instability of this fatty acid, elevated levels also...

Further improving of seed yield, other agronomic and seed quality traits in spring canola Brassica napus requires broadening of genetic diversity in this crop. The European winter oilseed B. napus is known to be genetically diverse from spring oilseed B. napus. We hypothesized that elite spring...
