The fungus Leptosphaeria maculans leading to Phoma stem canker (blackleg) of Brassica napus (oilseed rape, canola) produces the phytotoxin sirodesmin PL, which is responsible for major yield losses of oilseed rape worldwide. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) remains the gold standard diagnostic tool for L. maculans, but the required expensive equipment and long time make it inappropriate for fast field test. Herein, a portable system for rapid assaying L. maculans and L. biglobosa is designed around recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with fluorescent probe as the signal indicator, which allowed the real-time assay of amplification performed on a portable device between 37 and 42 °C. The time needed to observe the positive reaction results is controlled within 30 min. The proposed assay system is a good choice for on-site disease screening of oilseed rape plant where rapid detection is valuable, including port quarantine, agriculture quality testing, and pathogen spreading control.

Weeds cause a decrease in the quantity and quality of agricultural production and economic damage to producers. The prolonged use of synthetic pesticides causes problems of environmental pollution, the possible alteration of agricultural products and problems for human health. For this reason, the scientific community's search for products of natural origin, which are biodegradable, safe for human health and can act as valid alternatives to traditional herbicides, is growing.

The selection of an appropriate and targeted crop protection technology for winter oilseed rape is crucial for the economic production of this crop. Insecticides belonging to the group of diamides and butenolides are available as seed treatments for winter oilseed rape and serve as effective tools for chemical crop protection. The objective of this study was to determine the multi-directional applicability of the active ingredients cyantraniliprole and flupyradifurone.

is a member of the cruciferous family with rich glucosinolate (GSL) content, particularly glucobrassicin (3-indolylmethyl glucosinolate, I3M), that can be metabolized into indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a compound with promising anticancer properties. To unravel the genetic mechanism influencing I3C content in rapeseed seedlings, a comprehensive study was undertaken with a doubled haploid (DH) population. By quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, seven QTL that were located on A01, A07, and C04 were identified, with the most significant contribution to phenotypic variation observed on chromosome A07 (11.
