Comparative study on abortion characteristics of Nsa CMS and Pol CMS and analysis of long non-coding RNAs related to pollen abortion in Brassica napus.

Cytoplasmic male sterile system (CMS) is one of the important methods for the utilization of heterosisin Brassica napus. The involvement of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in anther and pollen development in B.napus has been recognized, but there is little data on the involvement of lncRNAs in pollen abortion in different types of rapeseed CMS.

Flavonoid Synthesis-Related Genes Determine the Color of Flower Petals in L.

The color of rapeseed ( L.) petal is usually yellow but can be milky-white to orange or pink. Thus, the petal color is a popular target in rapeseed breeding programs.

Tissue-Specific Transcriptome and Metabolome Analysis Reveals the Response Mechanism of to Waterlogging Stress.

During the growth period of rapeseed, if there is continuous rainfall, it will easily lead to waterlogging stress, which will seriously affect the growth of rapeseed. Currently, the mechanisms of rapeseed resistance to waterlogging stress are largely unknown. In this study, the rapeseed () inbred lines G230 and G218 were identified as waterlogging-tolerant rapeseed and waterlogging-sensitive rapeseed, respectively, through a potted waterlogging stress simulation and field waterlogging stress experiments.
