In seed-bearing plants, the ovule (“small egg”) is the organ within the gynoecium that
develops into a seed after fertilization. The gynoecium located in the inner compartment of …

Despite its global significance as an edible oil and biofuel, the critical period for yield
determination in canola (edible oilseed rape–Brassica napus L.) has not been determined in …

Understanding the response of the number of seeds and seed weight to the availability of
assimilates is crucial for designing breeding strategies aimed to increase seed and oil yield …

Influences of photosynthesis of leaf and silique on seeds yield and quality of oilseed rape
(Brassica napus L.) were explored in this study. A field comparing experiment with several …

This 2-year field study investigated the effects of time and paclobutrazol concentration on the
seed yield and the lodging and pod shatter resistance of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) …

Several biotic and abiotic stresses significantly decrease the biomass accumulation and
seed yield of sesame crops under rainfed areas. However, plant growth regulators (such as …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) characteristically has high N uptake efficiency and low N
utilization efficiency (NUtE, seed yield/shoot N accumulation). Determining the NUtE …

With the purpose of enhancing oil production, the present work was carried out to elucidate
relationships between photosynthesis of leaves, siliques and seeds yield and seeds oil …

Rapeseed cultivation is a novel approach to safely utilizing lead (Pb) contaminated
farmland. However, the mechanism of Pb absorption in seeds remains uncertain. A field …

Key message A major QTL controlling ovule abortion and SN was fine-mapped to a 80.1-kb
region on A8 in rapeseed, and BnaA08g07940D and BnaA08g07950D are the most likely …
