Despite its worldwide economic importance for food (oil, meal) and non-food (green energy
and chemistry) uses, oilseed rape has a low nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE), mainly due to …

Our goal was to identify the leaf proteomic changes which appeared during N remobilisation
that were associated or not associated with senescence of oilseed rape in response to …

Brassica napus L.(oilseed rape) is an important crop plant characterised by low nitrogen (N)
use efficiency. This is mainly due to a weak N recycling from leaves that is related to …

High nitrogen (N) efficiency, characterized by high grain yield under N limitation, is an
important agricultural trait in Brassica napus L. cultivars related to delayed senescence of …

Background Oilseed rape is the third largest oleaginous crop in the world but requires high
levels of N fertilizer of which only 50% is recovered in seeds. This weak N use efficiency is …

Despite a high nitrate uptake capacity, the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of oilseed rape is
weak due to a relatively low N remobilization from vegetative (mostly leaves) to growing …

As a result of climate changes, land use and agriculture have to adapt to new demands.
Agriculture is responsible for a large part of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that have …

Leaf senescence is a developmentally controlled process, which is additionally modulated
by a number of adverse environmental conditions. Nitrogen shortage is a well-known trigger …

Main conclusion Differential palisade and spongy parenchyma structural changes in oilseed
rape leaf were demonstrated. These dismantling processes were linked to early senescence …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is a crop plant characterized by a poor nitrogen (N) use
efficiency that is mainly due to low N remobilization efficiency during the sequential leaf …
