GWAS for the identification of introgressed candidate genes of with increased branching numbers in backcross lines of the allohexaploid .

Plant architecture is a crucial determinant of crop yield. The number of primary (PB) and secondary branches (SB) is particularly significant in shaping the architecture of Indian mustard. In this study, we analyzed a panel of 86 backcross introgression lines (BCILs) derived from the first stable allohexaploid Brassicas with 170 genome-specific SSR markers to identify associated markers with higher PB and SB through association mapping.

Development of genome-specific SSR markers for the identification of introgressed segments of in the background.

Unlabelled: L. (white mustard) is recognized for carrying host resistance against several biotic stresses including, , which is responsible for blight disease in cultivated Brassica. However, another cultivated has a dearth for genetic resistance for these stresses due to its narrow genetic base.

Development of transcriptome assembly and SSRs in allohexaploid Brassica with functional annotations and identification of heat-shock proteins for thermotolerance.

Crop Brassicas contain monogenomic and digenomic species, with no evidence of a trigenomic Brassica in nature. Through somatic fusion ( + ), a novel allohexaploid trigenomic Brassica (H1 = AABBSS; 2 = 60) was produced and used for transcriptome analysis to uncover genes for thermotolerance, annotations, and microsatellite markers for future molecular breeding. Illumina Novaseq 6000 generated a total of 76,055,546 paired-end raw reads, which were used for assembly, resulting in the development of 486,066 transcripts.

Introgression and QTL mapping conferring resistance for Alternaria brassicae in the backcross progeny of Sinapis alba + Brassica juncea somatic hybrids.

A total of three QTLs, responsible for A. brassicae resistance were introgressed into S. alba - B.

Current Status of the Disease-Resistant Gene(s)/QTLs, and Strategies for Improvement in .

is a major oilseed crop in tropical and subtropical countries, especially in south-east Asia like India, China, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. The widespread cultivation of genetically similar varieties tends to attract fungal pathogens which cause heavy yield losses in the absence of resistant sources. The conventional disease management techniques are often expensive, have limited efficacy, and cause additional harm to the environment.

Development of a Yellow-Seeded Stable Allohexaploid Brassica Through Inter-Generic Somatic Hybridization With a High Degree of Fertility and Resistance to .

The Brassica coenospeceis have treasure troves of genes that could be beneficial if introgressed into cultivated Brassicas to combat the current conditions of climate change. Introducing genetic variability through plant speciation with polyploidization is well documented, where ploidy augmentation of inter-generic allohexaploids using somatic hybridization has significantly contributed to genetic base broadening. is a member of the Brassicaceae family that possesses valuable genes, including genes conferring resistance to , , pod shattering, heat, and drought stress.

Draft genome of multiple resistance donor plant Sinapis alba: An insight into SSRs, annotations and phylogenetics.

Background: Sinapis alba is a wild member of the Brassicaceae family reported to possess genetic resistance against major biotic and abiotic stresses of oilseed brassicas. However, the resistance nature of S. alba was not exploited generously due to the unavailability of usable genome sequences in public databases.
