Plant height is a vital agronomic trait for crops, including oilseed crops such as rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). It affects the crop yield, oil content, and lodging resistance in rapeseed. In this study, we investigated a dwarf trait controlled by a semi-dominant allele in rapeseed. A dwarf line, YA2016-12, was crossed with a tall line, G184-189, and an F2 population was established. Forty of the tallest plants and 40 of the shortest plants from the F2 population were selected and two DNA pools (tall and dwarf) were constructed by the bulked segregant analysis (BSA) method. The two DNA pools and two parental DNAs were then re-sequenced. A sliding window analysis was used to calculate the Δ(SNP-index) and discover an association region on chromosome A03 with a length of 12.4 Mb. Within this region, we found 1225 genes, including 811 genes with non-synonymous or frameshift mutations between YA2016-12 and G184-189. Alignment to known plant height-related orthologs in Arabidopsis thaliana, as well as KEGG pathway and gene ontology annotations, was used to identify nine candidate genes (BnaA03g31770D, BnaA03g37960D, BnaA03g24740D, BnaA03g40550D, BnaA03g26120D, BnaA03g35130D, BnaA03g42350D, BnaA03g25610D, and BnaA03g39850D) involved in gibberellin or cytokinin signaling. Identification of the causal gene for this trait, and of genetic markers linked to favorable alleles, has potential utility for marker-assisted selection to breed rapeseed varieties with improved height.

The agronomic performance of eight triazine-resistant single-cross oilseed rape (B. napus L.) hybrids was evaluated. The yield of most of the hybrids was significantly greater than Atr-Regent; some of the hybirds demonstrated mid-parent heterosis, but none of the eight exhibited high-parent heterosis. In most cases the hybrids were intermediate to the parents for flowering date, plant height, lodging resistance, physiological maturity, percent oil and percent protein.Key words: Brassica napus L., oilseed rape, F1 hybrid, triazine resistance

A 6 × 6 diallel cross was conducted in spring-planted oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) in 1983 at Elora and Dundalk, Ontario. The F1 hybrids exhibited positive heterosis for seed yield, of up to 72%, over the higher-yielding parent in the hybrid crosses. Heterosis for 1000 seed weight, percent oil, plant height, and lodging resistance was nonsignificant; negative heterosis for percent protein was observed with some hybrids. Generally, the hybrids were intermediate to the parents in flowering date and physiological maturity. Specific combining ability was more important than general combining ability for seed yield, percent oil, percent protein, plant height (Dundalk), and lodging resistance (Elora); specific combining ability was as important as general combining ability for 1000 seed weight, physiological maturity, plant height (Elora), and lodging resistance (Dundalk). The cultivars 'Topas' and 'Regent' were the best general combiners for seed yield. The best specific combinations for seed yield heterosis, 'Westar' × 'Hanna', 'Regent' × 'Liné', and 'Regent' × 'D-1', exhibited average high-parent heterosis values of 50, 38, and 30%, respectively. The results demonstrated that considerable potential exists for producing high-yielding single-cross hybrids of oilseed rape. Commercial exploitation of this heterosis will depend on the successful development of suitable pollination control mechanisms.Key words: Brassica napus, oilseed rape, F1 hybrid, heterosis, combining ability.

The effects of four sulphur levels: S0, S1, S2 and S3, including 0, 12, 24 and 36 kg S ha-1, respectively, along with 115 kg N ha-1 were studied on yield-related traits of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). The significant variance of treatments was determined for plant height, yield component characters, seed yield and oil content. The sulphur application significantly increased most of the traits compared to the S0 level. The S3 (36 kg S ha-1) treatment led to the highest mean value of plant height (132 cm) which was classified with S2 (24 kg S ha-1) in the same statistical group. Sulphur had an increasing effect on pods per plant, and it ranged from 92 to 196 for S0 and S3 applications, respectively. S0 and S1 with 92 and 121 pods per plant were grouped in the same statistical group. In addition, S2, and S3 with 165 and 196 pods per plant showed no significant statistical difference. The sulphur application significantly increased seed yield compared to control (S0 level), and it ranged from 2744 to 3215 kg ha-1 in S0 and S3, respectively. The average oil contents of 45.69, 46.96, 47.46 and 49.53 % were detected for 0, 12, 24 and 36 kg S ha-1, respectively.

A 3-yr field experiment was conducted at the Scott Experimental Farm to determine the effect of the growth regulator, triapenthenol, on the growth and development of Argentine canola (Brassica napus L.). Triapenthenol reduced plant height 25–45 cm under optimal growing conditions. Increases in yield, branches and total pods were observed. Application at the bud stage was more effective than earlier treatment in the rosette. It was concluded that triapenthenol application to canola could be a useful management tool, particularly under optimal growing conditions.Key words: Canola, growth regulator, RSW-0411, lodging

Yield is one of the most important traits in Brassica napus breeding programs. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for yield-related traits based on genetic mapping would help breeders to develop high-yield cultivars. In this study, a genetic linkage map of B. napus, containing 142 sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers, 163 functional markers, 160 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, and 117 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers, was constructed in an F2 population of 184 individuals resulting from the cross SI-1300 × Eagle. This map covered 2054.51 cM with an average marker interval of 3.53 cM. Subsequently, QTLs were detected for 12 yield-related traits in Wuhan and Jingmen. In total, 133 QTLs were identified, including 14 consistent ones across the 2 locations. Fifteen of 20 linkage groups (LGs) were found to have QTLs for the 12 traits investigated, and most of the QTLs were clustered, especially on LGs N2 and N7, where similar QTL positions were identified for multiple traits. Eight of 10 QTLs for yield per plant (YP) were also associated with number of seeds per silique (SS), number of siliques per plant (SP), and/or 1000-seed weight (SW). In addition, 45 functional markers involved in 39 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were linked to the QTLs of 12 traits. The present results may serve as a valuable basis for further molecular dissection of agronomic traits in B. napus, and the markers related to QTLs may offer promising possible makers for marker assisted selection.

The present study was conducted involving 62 F3 genotypes of Brassica napus L. at the experimental farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to ponder the genetic variability, phenotypic, genotypic and environmental coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic advance, correlation, path coefficient and genetic diversity analysis in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with sixty-two genotypes (treatments) with three replications during November 2014 to February 2015. The investigations aimed to select the best segregating genotypes for the yield improvement of Brussica napus (rapeseed). Analysis of variance indicated that the genotypes were found significantly different for all the characters considered. The relative phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all the traits investigated. The high GCV value was observed for the number of siliqua per plant (NSP), plant height (PH), silique length (SL), number of seed per silique (NSS) and seed yield per plant (SYP) indicated high broad sense heritability. The significant positive correlation with seed yield per plant (SYP) was found in plant height (PH) (0.368**), the number of primary branches per plant (NPB) (0.332**), number of secondary branches per plant (NSB) (0.382**), number of silique per plant (NSP) (0.549**), and siliqua length (SL) (0.037**). The results of path coefficient analysis uncovered that plant height (PH) (0.582), days to 50% flowering (50F) (0.390), days to maturity (DM) (0.575), number of primary branches per plant (NPB) (0.678), number of secondary branches per plant (NSB) (0.182),and thousand seed weight (TSW) (0.289) had a positive direct impact on seed yield per plant (SYP) and thus it was concluded that these traits could be exploited for the enhancement of yield potential of rapeseed. This study showed that based on the agronomic performance execution, genotypes G8, G14, G19, G21, G47, and G55 might be proposed for future hybridization program in Bangladesh and this could help rapeseed breeders to upgrade their breeding activities.

Thirteen elite lines of Brassica napus L. were tested. Nine phenotypic traits viz., days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, branches, pods, pod length, pod width, pod weight and seed yield were studied. ANOVA revealed significant results for all the traits while summary statistics exhibited high level of genetic variability in days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height and number of pods. On the other hand, number of branches, pod length, pod width, pod weight and seed yield need more attention for improvement. Coefficient of correlation revealed significant combinations among various traits which could be utilized directly. Cluster analysis based on linkage distances described grouping pattern into three clusters for dissimilarities. Elite line 24866 of Pakistani origin placed in separate cluster prominently that is due to best performance for maximum traits, hence recommended for farmers’ field large scale cultivation.
