Morpho-Physiochemical Indices and Transcriptome Analysis Reveal the Role of Glucosinolate and Erucic Acid in Response to Drought Stress during Seed Germination of Rapeseed.

The global expansion of rapeseed seed quality has been focused on maintaining glucosinolate (GSL) and erucic acid (EA) contents. However, the influence of seed GSL and EA contents on the germination process under drought stress remains poorly understood. Herein, 114 rapeseed accessions were divided into four groups based on GSL and EA contents to investigate their performance during seed imbibition under drought stress.

An unusual cause of acute coronary syndrome: thrombosis of right coronary artery to right atrium fistula.

Coronary arterial fistulae are rare, but it is one of the most common coronary artery anomalies. Most of the cases are asymptomatic in younger patients unless it is large and of haemodynamic significance. The incidence of thromboembolic complications usually increases with age.

A Pseudo-near isogenic F population strategy for rapid QTL cloning.

Unlabelled: Near isogenic F (NIF) population frequently developed by conventional backcross has dramatically contributed to QTL identification in plants. Developing such a NIF population is time-consuming. Thus, it is urgent to rapidly produce a NIF population for QTL cloning.

Mitigation of the salinity stress in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) productivity by exogenous applications of bio-selenium nanoparticles during the early seedling stage.

In recent years, much attention has been directed toward using nanoparticles (NPs) as one of the most effective strategies to improve plant growth, especially under salt stress conditions. Further research has been conducted to develop NPs using various chemical ways; accordingly, knowledge about the beneficial effect of bioSeNPs in rapeseed is obscure. Selenium (Se) is a vital micronutrient with a series of physiological and antioxidative properties.
