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 yellow sarson and Canadian spring Brassica rapa L.
DownloadFall 2015
Canada is the top producer of Brassica oilseeds [B. napus L. (n = 19, AC genome)] in the world. Genetic diversity has declined in this crop in the recent years due to use of only superior and genetically narrow gene pool in breeding. Presence of adequate genetic diversity is important for further...

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...

Introgression of clubroot resistance from B. oleracea into B. napus and study the inheritance of the resistance
DownloadFall 2023
Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most devastating threats to Brassica napus canola production worldwide. Growing clubroot-resistant cultivars is considered the most efficient way of managing this disease. All available clubroot-resistant canola cultivars carry...
