Drought stress can directly inhibit seedling establishment in canola (Brassica napus),
resulting in lower plant densities and reduced yields. To dissect this complex trait, 140 B …

Modern agriculture is facing multiple challenges including the necessity for a substantial
increase in production to meet the needs of a burgeoning human population. Water …

Drought seriously curtails growth, physiology and productivity in rapeseed (Brassica napus).
Although drought tolerance is a complex trait, efficient phenotyping and genotyping has led …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is one of the most important oil crops worldwide; however,
drought seriously curtails its growth and productivity. Identifying drought-tolerant germplasm …

Drought stress is one of the major abiotic factors affecting Brassica napus (B. napus)
productivity. In order to identify genes of potential importance to drought stress and obtain a …

Based on transcriptomic data from four experimental settings with drought-resistant and
drought-sensitive cultivars under drought and well-watered conditions, statistical analysis …

Brassica napus is a globally important oilseed for which little is known about the genetics of
drought adaptation. We previously mapped twelve quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying …

Soil salinity negatively impacts rapeseed (Brassica napus) crop production. In particular,
high soil salinity is known to hinder seedling growth and establishment. Identifying natural …

Sunflower is one of the most important oil crops in the world, and drought stress can
severely limit its production and quality. To understand the underlying mechanism of drought …

To increase both the yield potential and stability of crops, integrated breeding strategies are
used that have mostly a direct genetic basis, but the utility of epigenetics to improve complex …
