A Novel Strain of with a Strong Antagonistic Effect Specific to and Its Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis.

Sclerotinia, which is caused by , is a severe disease of oilseed rape, which is an important oil crop worldwide. In this study, we isolated a novel strain of , named HF10, from the rhizosphere soil of the reed on the seaside of Yagzhou Bay, Sanya city, Hainan Province, China. HF10 exhibited a significant antagonistic effect on , with an inhibition rate of 79%, and to other species in , but no antagonistic effect was found on various other fungi or bacteria.

Transcriptomic comparison of seeds and silique walls from two rapeseed genotypes with contrasting seed oil content.

Silique walls play pivotal roles in contributing photoassimilates and nutrients to fuel seed growth. However, the interaction between seeds and silique walls impacting oil biosynthesis is not clear during silique development. Changes in sugar, fatty acid and gene expression during silique development of L192 with high oil content and A260 with low oil content were investigated to identify key factors affecting difference of their seed oil content.

Genome-Wide Characterization of DGATs and Their Expression Diversity Analysis in Response to Abiotic Stresses in .

Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the most important storage lipid for oil plant seeds. Diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGATs) are a key group of rate-limiting enzymes in the pathway of TAG biosynthesis. In plants, there are three types of DGATs, namely, DGAT1, DGAT2 and DGAT3.

Defective Genes Lead to Sepal Modification in Crops.

Many vegetable and oilseed crops belong to species. The seed production of these crops is hampered often by abnormal floral organs, especially under the conditions of abiotic conditions. However, the molecular reasons for these abnormal floral organs remains poorly understood.
