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....

Genetic and Hormonal Regulation of Stem Vascular Tissue Development In Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.)
DownloadFall 2011
Flax (Linum usitatissimum) has been grown as a source of oil and fibre for several millennia. Linseed flax varieties are cultivated for their seed (flaxseed) and for their seed oils (linseed oil), which are used for many industrial applications. The fibres that form in linseed straws are...

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...
