Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) caused by the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is
a major disease of oilseed rape (Brassica napus). During infection, large, white/grey lesions …

Brassica napus is one of the most important oil crops in the world, and stem rot caused by
the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum results in major losses in yield and quality. To elucidate …

With the availability of DNA-based molecular markers during early 1980s and that of
sophisticated statistical tools in late 1980s and later, it became possible to identify genomic …

A high content of seed glucosinolates and their degradation products imposes anti‐
nutritional effects on livestock; therefore, persistent efforts are made to reduce the seed GSL …

Crop plant architecture plays a highly important role in its agronomic performance. Plant
height (PH) and primary branch number (PB) are two major factors that affect the plant …
