Molecular and functional characterization of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase of plants
DownloadSpring 2011
sn-Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) catalyzes the acylation of sn-1 position of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate to produce lysophosphatidic acid and Coenzyme A. GPATs are involved in several lipid synthetic pathways and play important physiological roles in plant development. The present...

Clubroot, caused by the soilborne pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a threat to cruciferous crops worldwide and an important disease of canola (Brassica napus L.) in Canada. At present, pathotypes of P. brassicae are distinguished phenotypically based on their virulence patterns on host...

Shah, Saleh, Xu, Yang, Ramakrishnan, Geetha, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Chen, Guanqun, Ozga, Jocelyn, Greer, Michael S., Lemieux, M. Joanne, Wu, Limin, Weselake, Randall J.
The apparent bottleneck in the accumulation of oil during seed development in some oleaginous plant species is the formation of triacylglycerol (TAG) by the acyl-CoA-dependent acylation of sn-1,2- diacylglycerol catalyzed by diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3.1.20). Improving DGAT...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is an amphidiploid or allotetraploid (AACC, 2n = 4x = 38) crop plant and it is one of the most important oilseed crops in the world. The narrow genetic base of this crop, especially in its C genome, is not only a major impediment for its continued improvement but also...

Spring 2018
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, which are known to regulate plant responses to abiotic stresses, such as Cold Stress (CS) and during normal growth and development. In Brassica napus (canola), miRNAs regulate various developmental processes and responses to metal stress however;...

Study of the C genome QTL affecting flowering time in spring oilseed Brassica napus under a short-day condition
DownloadFall 2024
Brassica napus, mostly known as canola, is an important oilseed crop in Canada. Earliness of flowering and maturity are one of the important traits for growing spring canola in North America. These traits can be improved through identification of the genes and alleles affecting flowering time...

Clarke, Wayne E., Taheri, Ali, Rolfe, Stephen A., Malinowski, Robert, Haddadi, Parham, Links, Matthew G., Kagale, Sateesh, Strelkov, Stephen E., Djavaheri, Mohammad, Robinson, Stephen J., Parkin, Isobel A. P., Borhan, M. Hossein
Background The protist Plasmodiophora brassicae is a soil-borne pathogen of cruciferous species and the causal agent of clubroot disease of Brassicas including agriculturally important crops such as canola/rapeseed (Brassica napus). P. brassicae has remained an enigmatic plant pathogen and is a...

The effects of soil and plant nutrients on the oviposition preference, larval performance and spatial dynamics of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus and its parasitoids
DownloadFall 2010
The effects of nitrogen and sulfur fertilization on the oviposition, feeding preferences, and larval performance of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Brassica napus L. were examined in a series of laboratory experiments. The associations between C. obstrictus...

The role of auxin and indole glucosinolates in defense against clubroot infection in Brassica napus
DownloadFall 2023
Abstract Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most damaging diseases of the Brassicaceae. Glucosinolates (GSLs) are a group of defense-related secondary metabolites in cruciferous plants that have been associated with clubroot disease. The breakdown of...

Use of Rutabaga (Brassica napus var. napobrassica) for the Improvement of Canadian Spring Canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadSpring 2016
Spring-type oilseed Brassica napus L., commonly known as canola, has become the cornerstone of agricultural production in Western Canada, with the total acreage seeded increasing in each production year over the past two decades. However, the narrow genetic base of spring B. napus canola coupled...
