Knocking out 2 functionally redundant aldehyde dehydrogenase-encoding genes via gene editing leads to 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline accumulation in oilseed rape, which can be used to develop fragrant lines.

Rapeseed ( L.) is an important crop for healthy edible oil and stockfeed worldwide. However, its growth and yield are severely hampered by black rot, a destructive disease caused by pv.

Previous studies have demonstrated that γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) effectively alleviates heavy metal stresses by maintaining the redox balance and reducing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, little is known about the role of GABA on programmed cell death (PCD) under Cd treatments in plants. The present study investigated the effects of GABA on Cd-induced PCD in two species, oilseed rape (, ), and black mustard (, ).

Ammonia (NH) volatilization caused by urea application has negative implications for human health, environmental quality, and the value of nitrogen fertilizers. It remains to be investigated how management strategies should be adopted to not only reduce NH volatilization but also improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in the agriculture industry at present. Hence, a two-year field trial, including subplots, was conducted to simultaneously evaluate the effects of mulching treatments (NM: non-mulching; SM: straw mulching) and different fertilizer treatments (U: urea; U + NBPT: urea plus 1% N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide; U + CRU: the mixture of urea and controlled-release urea at a 3:7 ratio; U + OF: urea plus commercial organic fertilizer at a 3:7 ratio) on NH volatilization, crop production, and NUE in an oilseed rape-maize rotation system in the sloping farmland of purple soil in southwestern China between 2021 and 2023.

Drought conditions severely curtail the ability of plants to accumulate biomass due to the closure of stomata and the decrease of photosynthetic assimilation rate. Additionally, there is a shift in the plant's metabolic processes toward the production of metabolites that offer protection and aid in osmoadaptation, as opposed to those required for development and growth. To limit water loss via non-stomatal transpiration, plants adjust the load and composition of cuticle waxes, which act as an additional barrier.

The environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) crops in Japan requires collecting data from a comparative study of a GM and non-GM control in an in-country confined field trial (CFT). This in-country CFT requirement is used to address concerns that differences in the local environmental conditions may lead to differences in growth and/or risks of GM crops. However, this requirement for in-country CFT has recently been exempted for certain GM maize and GM cotton traits, and instead CFT data from other countries are used to inform the ERA of these GM events.
