Genome‐Wide Association Study Elucidates the Genetic Architecture of Manganese Tolerance in <i>Brassica napus</i> Open
Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al 3+ ) and manganese (Mn 2+ ) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinan…

Novel quantitative trait loci from an interspecific Brassica rapa derivative improve pod shatter resistance in Brassica napus Open
Pod shatter is a trait of agricultural relevance that ensures plants dehisce seeds in their native environment and has been subjected to domestication and selection for non-shattering types in several broadacre crops. However, pod shatteri…

Quantitative Trait Loci for Genotype and Genotype by Environment Interaction Effects for Seed Yield Plasticity to Terminal Water-Deficit Conditions in Canola (Brassica napus L.) Open
Canola plants suffer severe crop yield and oil content reductions when exposed to water-deficit conditions, especially during the reproductive stages of plant development. There is a pressing need to develop canola cultivars that can perfo…

Multienvironment QTL analysis delineates a major locus associated with homoeologous exchanges for water‐use efficiency and seed yield in canola Open
Canola varieties exhibit variation in drought avoidance and drought escape traits, reflecting adaptation to water‐deficit environments. Our understanding of underlying genes and their interaction across environments in improving crop produ…

Multi-environment QTL analysis delineates a major locus associated with homoeologous exchanges for water-use efficiency and seed yield in allopolyploid<i>Brassica napus</i> Open
Summary Canola varieties exhibit discernible variation in drought avoidance and drought escape traits, suggesting its adaptation to water-deficit environments. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. A doubled haploid (DH…

Genetic and physiological bases for variation in water use efficiency in canola Open
Drought stress due to water deficiency threatens production of canola worldwide. Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ 13 C), a trait that can be used to assess efficient water use, provides an opportunity to exploit natural variation in canola…

Genome-Wide Association Mapping Identifies Novel Loci for Quantitative Resistance to Blackleg Disease in Canola Open
Blackleg disease, caused by the fungal pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans, continues to be a major concern for sustainable production of canola (Brassica napus L.) in many parts of the world. The deployment of effective quantitative resistanc…

Stable Quantitative Resistance Loci to Blackleg Disease in Canola (Brassica napus L.) Over Continents Open
The hemibiotrophic fungus, Leptosphaeria maculans is the most devastating pathogen, causing blackleg disease in canola (Brassica napus L). To study the genomic regions involved in quantitative resistance (QR), 259-276 DH lines from Darmor-…

A Major Locus for Manganese Tolerance Maps on Chromosome A09 in a Doubled Haploid Population of Brassica napus L. Open
Soil acidity poses a major threat to productivity of several crops; mainly due to the prevalence of toxic levels of Al3+ and Mn2+. Crop productivity could be harnessed on acid soils via the development of plant varieties tolerant to phytot…
