Turnip, a subspecies of Brassica rapa, is one the important root vegetable crops in China. Its roots, as significant product organs, possess values for consumption, feed, and medicinal purposes. A previous study localized gene associated with swelling traits. In this study, we cloned turnip swelling-related BraTSD2 (TUMOROUS SHOOT DEVELOPMENT 2) performed preliminary functional analysis. The bioinformatics analysis indicated that protein likely to transmembrane feature. Additionally,...

The Brassica genus comprises many economically important worldwide cultivated crops. well-established model of the genus, U's triangle, consists three basic diploid plant species (Brassica rapa, oleracea and nigra) amphidiploid napus, juncea carinata) that arose through interspecific hybridizations. Despite being extensively studied because its commercial relevance, several aspects origin relationships within among these six still remain open questions. Here, we successfully de novo...

Abstract Background The low efficiency of genetic transformation in Chinese cabbage ( Brassica rapa L . ssp. pekinensis ) is the key problem affecting functional verification. Particle bombardment a widely used method along with Agrobacterium -mediated method. As physical means, it has almost no restrictions on type host and wide range receptor types, which largely avoids restriction explants. parameters, include number bombardments, pressure, distance, may affect microspores' efficiency....

Turnip mosaic virus (Tu MV ), the only potyvirus known to infect brassicas, is a devastating threatening many economically important brassica crops, including cabbage, Chinese oilseed rape and mustard. Tu disease, which was first discovered in United States, now found worldwide, especially Europe, Asia North America. results yield loss of up 70% has wide host range, infecting most cruciferous plants, as well non‐cruciferous species. This also characterized by high pathotype diversity because...

Abstract Chinese cabbage that prefers cold conditions is also affected by low-temperature stress, such as the accumulation of leaf anthocyanins. Research on anthocyanin biosynthesis and regulation mechanisms has made great progress. However, research for resistance to biological non-biological stress still lacking. To study relationship between under conditions, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed ‘Xiao Baojian’ grown at a low temperature four time periods control five periods. In Kyoto...

Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) is one of the most important vegetables in China. Genetic dissection leaf mineral accumulation and tolerance to Zn stress for improvement nutritional quality by breeding. A mapping population with 183 doubled haploid (DH) lines was used study genetics growth response Zn. The genetic map constructed based on 203 AFLPs, 58 SSRs, 22 SRAPs four ESTPs. concentration 11 minerals determined leaves 142 DH grown an open field. In addition shoot dry...

Recessive strain-specific resistance to a number of plant viruses in the Potyvirus genus has been found be based on mutations eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) and its isoform, eIF(iso)4E. We identified three copies eIF(iso)4E Brassica rapa lines. Here we report broad-spectrum potyvirus Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) due natural mechanism mis-splicing allele some TuMV-resistant B. var. pekinensis Of splice variants, most common results stop codon intron 1 much truncated,...

Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae , has become a major problem in the production of cruciferous crops worldwide. In this study, population 121 doubled haploid ( DH ) lines derived from crossing between resistant and susceptible canola Brassica napus genotype was subjected to phenotypic genotypic studies determine inheritance location resistance gene(s). After inoculation with pathotype 3 P. showed 1:1 segregation ratio for resistance, indicating that is controlled single...

Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, has become a major problem in cruciferous crops worldwide. Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa), pak choi (B. and mustard juncea) are important vegetable China. Development of clubroot-resistant cultivars these is urgently needed. In this study, 71 B. rapa juncea genotypes from China, including inbred lines, were evaluated for resistance to three P. pathotypes. A significant interaction was observed between the pathotypes Brassica...

The trichomes of mustard leaves have significance due to their ability combat unfavorable external conditions and enhance disease resistance. It was demonstrated that the MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW) ternary complex consists MYB, basic Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH), WD40-repeat (WD40) family proteins plays a key role in regulating trichome formation density. bHLH gene family, particularly Myelocytomatosis (MYC) possess structural domain (termed bHLH-MYC), are crucial development leaf plants. constitutes...

Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) is a key vegetable crop in Asia, but its commercial value often reduced by premature flowering triggered vernalization. The molecular mechanisms behind this process are not fully understood. MADS-box genes, as crucial transcriptional regulators, play vital roles plant development, including flowering. In study, 102 genes were identified through bioinformatics analyses, covering phylogeny, chromosomal localization, and gene structure....
