Red River 1861 Roundup Ready™ high erucic acid, low glucosinolate summer rape. Can. J. Plant Sci. 92: 1407–1409. Red River 1861 summer rape (Brassica napus L.) is the world's fourth Roundup Ready™ high erucic acid, low glucosinolate cultivar. On average, Red River 1861 yielded 19% more seed, 7 g kg−1 more seed oil and 7 g kg −1 more meal protein than MillenniUM 03 high erucic acid, low glucosinolate summer rape. Red River 1861 has an erucic acid content of 52.6% in isolated field trials of HEAR lines and is adapted to the southern B. napus growing regions of western Canada.

To combine next generation sequencing technology with SRAP, Illumina’s Solexa sequencing was used to sequence tagged SRAP PCR products. Results: Three sets of SRAP primers and three sets of tagging primers were used in 77,568 SRAP PCR reactions and the same number of tagging PCR reactions respectively to produce a pooled sample for Illumina’s Solexa sequencing. After sequencing, 1.28 GB of sequence with over 13 million paired-end sequences was obtained and used to match Solexa sequences with their corresponding SRAP markers and to integrate Solexa sequences on an ultradense genetic map. The ultradense genetic bin map with 465 bins was constructed using a recombinant inbred (RI) line mapping population in B. rapa. For this ultradense gene...

At low CO2 concentrations and low light intensities, a stimulation of photosynthesis was observed in 2% oxygen compared with the rate in 21% O2. At high CO2 concentrations and high light intensities, a temporary inhibition of photosynthesis was observed when the oxygen concentration was changed from 21 to 2%. In wheat and sunflower, this inhibition was observed at progressively lower CO2 concentrations as temperatures were decreased. In soybean only, a slight inhibition of photosynthesis was observed at higher temperatures. In some cases, especially in plants grown under a low light intensity, a long-lasting (> 45 min) inhibition of photosynthesis was observed. In most cases, however, the inhibition lasted only for several minutes and final rates of photosynthesis in 2% O2 were equal to or greater than the rate of photosynthesis in 21% O2. The stimula...

Roundup Ready® high erucic acid, low glucosinolate cultivar. On average, Evolve yielded 12.4 % more seed, 6 g kg-1 more seed oil and 5 g kg -1 less meal protein than Red River 1861, an open-pollinated Roundup Ready® high erucic acid, low glucosinolate summer rape. Evolve has an erucic acid content of 52.3 % in isolated field trials of HEAR genotypes and is adapted to the southern B. napus growing regions of western Canada.

To use clubroot resistance genes effectively, it is necessary to map these genes so that molecular markers inside or closely linked to these resistance genes can be developed. Using molecular marker-assisted selection, the clubroot resistance genes can be effectively transferred from cultivar to cultivar and from species to species. In this report, one clubroot resistance locus was mapped on linkage group A3 using five segregating populations developed from five chinese cabbage cultivars, suggesting that all the five cultivars shared the same clubroot resistance locus. Furthermore, one of these five chinese cabbage cultivars was used to develop a large segregating population to f...
