| rdna genetic imbalance and nucleolar chromatin restructuring is induced by distant hybridization between raphanus sativus and brassica alboglabra. | the expression of rdna in hybrids inherited from only one progenitor refers to nucleolar dominance. the molecular basis for choosing which genes to silence remains unclear. we report genetic imbalance induced by distant hybridization correlates with formation of rdna genes (nors) in the hybrids between raphanus sativus l. and brassica alboglabra bailey. moreover, increased ccgg methylation of rdna in f1 hybrids is concomitant with raphanus-derived rdna gene silencing and rdna transcriptional ina ... | 2015 | 25723542 |
| generation and identification of brassica alboglabra-brassica campestris monosomic alien addition lines. | four monosomic alien addition lines (maals) for brassica alboglabra-brassica campestris were developed through digenomic triploid (acc) backcrossing with the recurrent parent b. alboglabra (cc). the objectives of this study were to compare morphological traits, microsatellite markers (simple sequence repeats), chromosomal karyotypes, and meiotic behaviors. based on the new chromosome nomenclature system established for brassica, we preliminarily identified these maals as cc+a1, cc+a3, cc+a6, and ... | 2013 | 23659701 |
| comparative analysis of peroxidase profiles in chinese kale (brassica alboglabra l.): evaluation of leaf growth related isozymes. | plant peroxidases (ec 1.11.1.7) with different isoforms catalyze various reactions in plant growth and development. however, it is difficult to elucidate the function of each isozyme in one plant. here, we compared profiles of entire isozyme in young seedling and mature leaves of chinese kale (brassica alboglabra l.) on zymogram and ion exchange chromatography in order to investigate leaf growth related peroxidase isozymes. the results showed that four isozymes were constitutively expressed in k ... | 2013 | 23122107 |
| characterization of pbdes in soils and vegetations near an e-waste recycling site in south china. | the concentration and composition of pbdes in the soils and plants near a typical e-waste recycling site in south china were investigated. the total concentration of pbdes (σpbdes) in soil ranged from 4.8 to 533 ng/g dry wt. the σpbdes in vegetation were from 2.1 to 217 ng/g dry wt. for the vegetable, the highest concentration of 19.9 ng/g dry wt. was observed in the shoot of brassica alboglabra l. bde 209 was the predominant congener in all samples. in comparison with other e-waste contaminated ... | 2011 | 21763040 |
| instability of chromosome number and dna methylation variation induced by hybridization and amphidiploid formation between raphanus sativus l. and brassica alboglabra bailey. | distant hybridization can result genome duplication and allopolyploid formation which may play a significant role in the origin and evolution of many plant species. it is unclear how the two or more divergent genomes coordinate in one nucleus with a single parental cytoplasm within allopolyploids. we used cytological and molecular methods to investigate the genetic and epigenetic instabilities associated with the process of distant hybridization and allopolyploid formation, measuring changes in ... | 2010 | 20849584 |

| comparative persistence of pesticides on selected cultivars of specialty vegetables. | the behavior and dissipation of several pesticides on selected cultivars of specialty vegetable crops were compared to determine appropriate preharvest intervals for compliance with maximum residue limits. to reduce application variability, a tank mix of pesticides was applied for each trial. residues of eight pesticides applied to bok choi, chinese broccoli, and fuzzy squash were similar for the two leafy vegetables; residues were higher than on squash because of the latter's larger mass-to-sur ... | 2003 | 12590477 |
| pyrethroid insecticide residues on vegetable crops. | pyrethroid insecticides were applied on various vegetable crops as foliar treatments to determine dissipation rates. on chinese broccoli (guy lon), chinese mustard (pak choi) and chinese cabbage (kasumi, napa), fenvalerate was persistent with residues of 0.10, 0.14 and 0.11 mg kg-1, respectively, by day 21. cypermethrin residues on head lettuce were below 0.1 mg kg-1 by day 10 but on the leafier romaine and endive varieties it was more persistent and required 14-19 days to dissipate below this c ... | 2001 | 11517721 |
| random amplified polymorphic dna markers of the brassica alboglabra chromosome of a b. campestris-alboglabra addition line. | the alien c-genome chromosome in a brassica campestris alboglabra monosomic addition line was characterized by random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) analysis. the alien chromosome carried three loci, ec, wc and lap-1c, controlling synthesis of erucic acid, white flower colour and a fast-migrating band of leucine aminopeptidase (lap-1cc) respectively. the rapd analysis revealed 17 markers specific to the alien chromosome. among 45 offspring plants from the selfed addition line the alien c-chrom ... | 1996 | 8785604 |
