Brassica napus (canola/oilseed rape/rapeseed) is an economically important crop, mostly
found in temperate and sub-tropical regions, that is cultivated widely for its edible oil. Major …

Since their domestication, Brassica oilseed species have undergone progressive
transformation allied with the development of breeding and molecular technologies. The …

Among the Brassica oilseeds, canola (Brassica napus) is the most economically significant
globally. However, its production can be limited by blackleg disease, caused by the fungal …

The Nsa cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) system confers stable male sterility and offers
great potential for production of hybrid seeds in oilseed rape. However, genes responsible …

Background Purple curl leaf disease brings a significant threat to the development of agave
industry, the underlying mechanism of disease-resistant Agave sisalana. hybrid 11648 (A …

Many reviews report induction of defence genes similar with pathogenesis in legume-
rhizobia and mycorrhizal symbioses, suggesting it could be a convergent point in plant …

Key message Quantitative resistance (QR) loci discovered through genetic and genomic
analyses are abundant in the Brassica napus genome, providing an opportunity for their …

Leptosphaeria maculans causes blackleg disease in Brassica napus. The blackleg disease
is mainly controlled by resistance genes in B. napus. Previous studies have shown that the …

Genetic resistance to blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans, Lm) of canola (Brassica napus,
Bn) has been extensively studied, but the mechanisms underlying the host–pathogen …

Using resistant cultivars is a common approach to managing blackleg of canola/rapeseed
caused by Leptosphaeria maculans (Lm). Quantitative resistance (QR), as opposed to major …
