Broadening genetic diversity in canola (Brassica napus) germplasm using the B. oleracea var. alboglabra C-genome
DownloadFall 2012
Genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L., AACC genome, 2n=38) cultivars is narrow. Limited effort has been made to utilize genetic diversity from the diploid species B. oleracea (CC genome, 2n=18), apparently due to the difficulty of producing B. napus × B. oleracea hybrids as well...

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of the C genome of Brassica oleracea var. italica and Brassica oleracea var. capitata
DownloadSpring 2016
Spring canola Brassica napus L. (AACC, 2n = 38) is one of the major crops in Canada. A decline in genetic diversity in breeding populations is a threat for continued improvement of this crop from a long-term perspective. Genetic diversity in Canadian spring B. napus canola can be broadened...

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of C genome of B. oleracea var. capitata, and the effect of this on the performance of the inbred lines and their test-hybrids
DownloadFall 2018
Broadening the genetic base of spring B. napus canola is important for continued progress in breeding of hybrid cultivars. The objectives of this study were to (i) assess the potential of the C genome of B. oleracea var. capitata (cabbage) for broadening the genetic base of the C genome of B....

Evaluation of Spring Canola (Brassica Napus) Lines Derived from Rutabaga (Brassica Napus Var. Napobrassica) X Canola Crosses for Agronomic and Seed Quality Traits and Heterosis
DownloadSpring 2018
Brassica napus L. (AACC, 2n = 38) canola is the most extensively cultivated Brassica oilseed crop in the world; it is one of the most important field crops in Canada. The narrow genetic diversity in this crop is considered one of the major hindrances for continued improvement of this crop for...
