| "arabidobrassica": evidence for intergeneric somatic hybrid nature from electron microscopic morphometry of chromatin. | the new method of species and hybrid characterization and determination by quantitative morphometry of chromatin texture in ultra-thin sections of nuclei was applied to the somatic hybrid "arabidobrassica" and its parents, arabidopsis thaliana and brassica campestris. the somatic hybrid exhibits the average amount of condensed chromatin, if compared to the proportion of condensed chromatin in nuclei of the parent species. this result corresponds to similar findings in natural allopolyploids and ... | 1980 | 7398664 |
| the occurrence of free and bound cytokinins in plasmodia of plasmodiophora brassicae isolated from tissue cultures of clubroots. | plasmodia have been isolated from brassica campestris tissue infected with plasmodiophora brassicae. cytokinins were extracted from plasmodia and from the remaining host cytoplasm. fractions were separated in a butanol soluble fraction containing free cytokinins and a water soluble fraction containing bound forms, presumably glucose-6-phosphate derivatives of zeatin and zeatin riboside. the butanol fraction was analysed by high pressure liquid chromatography (hplc). the different glucosides were ... | 1981 | 24258747 |
| fraction i protein analysis of parasexual hybrid plants arabidopsis thaliana + brassica campestris. | the polypeptide composition of fraction i protein (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase) prepared from leaves of two clones of the parasexual hybrid plant arabidopsis thaliana + brassica campestris as well as their parents was analyzed by isoelectric focusing. the protein in hybrid plants contained a heterogenous population of small subunits resulting from the expression of both arbabidopsis and brassica nuclear genes, whereas the large subunit polypeptides, and hence the functional chloroplast ... | 1981 | 24258862 |
| "arabidobrassica": chromosomal recombination and morphogenesis in asymmetric intergeneric hybrid cells. | a somatic hybrid cell line, cloned from an individual protoplast-fusion product between arabidopsis thaliana and brassica campestris, gave rise to formation of numerous plants differing drastically in morphology. analysis of these various regenerants, all of which originated from one and the same heterokaryon derived from the fusion of two cells, shows the unspecific elimination of chromosomes of both parental species during the callus growth phase. whereas the parental cells have so far not bee ... | 1981 | 24275880 |
| absence of the iron-containing superoxide dismutase in mitochondria from mustard (brassica campestris). | mitochondria were isolated from mature leaves as well as etiolated seedlings of brassica campestris (mustard), a eukaryote previously shown to possess the iron-containing isoenzyme of superoxide dismutase. on the basis of kcn- and h2o2-sensitivity, and on polyacrylamide-gel analysis, only the cuprozinc and mangano superoxide dismutases were found in mitochondria. the iron-containing enzyme was absent. the mangano enzyme was found in the mitochondrial matrix, whereas the cuprozinc enzyme appeared ... | 1981 | 7306048 |
| uniparental inheritance of a chloroplast photosystem ii polypeptide controlling herbicide binding. | the ability of atrazine to inhibit photosystem ii electron transport and the rate of electron transfer from the primary to the secondary quinone electron acceptors in the photosystem ii complex were examined in triazine-resistant and -susceptible parental biotypes of brassica campestris l. and their f1 progeny derived from reciprocal crosses. the lack of herbicide inhibitory activity and the presence of functional properties which decreased the q- to b electron transport rate constant were inher ... | 1981 | 7470498 |
| chromosome pairing in haploids of brassica campestris. | the maximum chromosome pairing observed in haploids of brassica campestris was two bivalents plus one trivalent but differences were observed in the chromosome pairing frequencies of the four haploids studied. this pairing supports the theorem that the species is hexasomic for one chromosome, tetrasomic for two and disomic for three others but it is emphasized that some of the observed pairing might be explained by a phenomenon other than homology. | 1981 | 24276328 |
| inheritance of seed colour in turnip rape (brassica campestris l.). | the inheritance of seed colour was investigated in the progenies of crosses between seven yellow seeded forms and a brown seeded one of turnip rape (brassica campestris l.). seed colour differences were found to be determined in each case by one or two genes with epistatic effect. moreover, independent inheritance of hilum colour was observed. seed colour was predominantly but not completely determined by the maternal parent. in total, two genes for seed colour with epistatic (br 1 br 1; br 6 br ... | 1982 | 24270566 |
| comparative studies on s-glycoproteins purified from different s-genotypes in self-incompatible brassica species ii. immunological specificities. | antisera were prepared by immunization of apparently purified s-glycoproteins; one from an s allele of brassica campestris and two from s alleles of b. oleracea. each antiserum was reactive not only with the homologous s-glycoprotein but also with the heterologous ones, i.e. with the s-glycoproteins of the other s alleles of the same locus. in double diffusion tests, a spur against the heterologous s-glycoproteins suggested heterogeneity of the glycoproteins. the heterogeneity appears to involve ... | 1982 | 17246075 |
| are "multiple cross-multiple pollen hybrids" an answer for productive populations in brassica campestris var. 'brown sarson'? : part 3. potential of component characters in population breeding. | results on 167 f1 'mucromphs' reported earlier were re-examined with the view of determining the potential of component characters in correct identification of parental gca status and f1 heterosis. it was found that a judicious combination of 'plant' and 'ratio' characters would be of direct usefulness in assessing population performance. the role of seedling characters in the process of making a desired level of multiple cross was illustrated. it was found that h x l mucromphs could provide a b ... | 1982 | 24271374 |
| is the 'rejection reaction' inducing ability in sporophytic self-incompatible systems restricted only to pollen and tapetum? | the present investigation describes the stigmatic rejection response, induced by anther or pollen at developmental stages ranging from anther primordia to mature pollen, as well as in other floral and vegetative tissues. this has been studied in a sporophytic self-incompatible system, brassica campestris (brassicaceae). the implications of these observations have been discussed. | 1982 | 24270697 |
| characterization of chloroplasts isolated from triazine-susceptible and triazine-resistant biotypes of brassica campestris l. | chloroplasts isolated from triazine-susceptible and triazine-resistant biotypes of brassica campestris l. were analyzed for lipid composition, ultrastructure, and relative quantum requirements of photosynthesis. in general, phospholipids, but not glycolipids in chloroplasts from the triazine-resistant biotype had a higher linolenic acid concentration and lower levels of oleic and linoleic fatty acids, than chloroplasts from triazine-susceptible plants. chloroplasts from the triazine-resistant bi ... | 1982 | 16662454 |

| influence of canola hulls on gain in weight of larvae of the yellow mealworm, tenebrio molitor l. | larvae of the yellow mealworm, tenebrio molitor l., gembloux strain, race f, were reared on diets in which the protein component was supplied by defatted ground seed, defatted ground dehulled fraction, or defatted ground hulls of brassica napus l. cv. tower or brassica campestris l. cv. candle, obtained from autoclaved seed. they were also fed casein diets to which defatted ground hulls of tower or candle seed were added. gain in weight was equally good for all diets containing candle seed fract ... | 1983 | 6204614 |
| a review of the structure and organization of the mitochondrial genome of higher plants. | the structure, organisation and functions of the mitochondrial genome of most groups of eukaryotic organisms are known to varying degrees with the notable exception of higher plants. with the recent completion of physical mapping studies on the brassica campestris (chinese cabbage, turnip) and zea mays (maize) mitochondrial genomes, many of the apparent problems of plant mitochondrial genome structure can now be answered. in this manuscript i review the literature relating to the physical observ ... | 1984 | 24310431 |
| plant regeneration in callus and suspension cultures of brassica campestris cv. yellow sarson. | prolific shoot bud differentiation was induced in callus and suspension cultures of hypocotyl origin in brassica campestris cv. yellow sarson on ms medium supplemented with k (13.9-23.2 μm) or ba (13.3-22.1 μm). plantlets were obtained by rooting the in vitro differentiated shoots. histological studies revealed a unique mode of meristemoid formation. | 1984 | 24253325 |
| quantitative cytochemistry of beta-galactosidase in normal and enzyme deficient (gal) pollen of brassica campestris: application of the indigogenic method. | the available cytochemical methods for localization of beta-galactosidase have been evaluated using pollen grains of brassica campestris. beta-galactosidase-deficient pollen (gal), served as a control. azo dye methods involving naphthyl substrates showed high and nonspecific background staining to the exine. the indigogenic method, employing 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indoxyl beta-d-galactoside (x-gal) as the enzyme substrate, gave specific opaque-blue final reaction product, while mutant pollen grains ... | 1984 | 6442287 |
| promotion of flowering in brassica campestris l. cv ceres by sucrose. | flower initiation of the quantitative long-day plant brassica campestris cv ceres was earlier and at a lower final leaf number when sucrose was added to the medium in which plants were grown in sterile culture. the optimal concentration of sucrose was 40 to 80 millimolar. this flower-promoting effect of sucrose was not osmotic, as mannitol, sodium chloride, and polyethylene glycol were not effective at equal osmotic potentials.seedlings grown heterotrophically after treatment with 4-chloro-5-(di ... | 1984 | 16663739 |
| genetic divergence among thirty-one genotypes of toria (brassica campestris l.) grown in twelve environments. | thirty-one toria genotypes were grown in 12 artificially created environments in order to study genetic divergence. d(2) estimates based on 12 characters were used in obtaining the clustering pattern and inter- and intracluster distances. selection of divergent parents has been made in three ways, i.e., on the basis of (a) genetic divergence exhibited when grown in the richest and most productive environment; (b) stable and consistent values of divergence over all 12 environments and (c) pooled ... | 1984 | 24253702 |
| on a model for the structure of circular mitochondrial genomes in higher plants. | the mitochondrial genome of some higher plants consists of a discrete set of circular molecules. the heterogeneity found in the number of circles and their size is puzzling. in some plants evidence exists that indicates that these circular dna molecules undergo intermolecular and intramolecular recombination events. the result of these events is that two small circles can combine to give one large circle or one large circle can break up into two small circles. here we pursue the idea that such r ... | 1985 | 3870964 |
| [micro-organisms solubilizing insoluble phosphate mineral compounds in the rhizosphere of the rape plant (brassica campestris)]. | the aim of this study carried out in a soil of the experimental station of the faculty of agronomy of the university of bs. as. was to study the influence of the root of brassica campestris on the functional group of microorganism dissolving insoluble phosphorus mineral compounds, bi and tricalcium phosphate. the microbiological quantitative analysis showed the following values: for bicalcium-phosphate: 5.7 x 10(8), 2.8 x 10(8), and 1.0 x 10(8) and for tricalcium phosphate: 3.2 x 10(8), 1.7 x 10 ... | 1985 | 3870745 |
| a heat shock protein is encoded within mitochondria of higher plants. | a temperature shift from 25 to 41 degrees c initiates the synthesis of a specific set of proteins in maize, including a peptide of 60 kilodaltons. using an in vitro mitochondrial protein synthesizing system, we provide evidence that this 60-kda heat shock protein is encoded within the organelle. further support for this heat-induced protein being encoded within mitochondria is that its synthesis is inhibited in whole seedlings by chloramphenicol. this 60-kda heat shock protein is induced in all ... | 1985 | 4066675 |
| selection of isoresponsive genotypes in toria (brassica campestris l.) based on the pattern of response to environmental variations: a proposed method. | thirty-one toria genotypes were compared with three well-established cultivars, 'ludhiana composite-2', 'k-1' and 'tcsu-2' (standard testers). the genotypes, which were almost identical to a standard tester in response to environmental variations and which also had other desirable characteristics, were considered to be acceptable for commercial cultivation. using this criterion, 'tcsu-7', 'th-5' and 'th-4' were found to be acceptable for commercial cultivation. 'th-4' and 'tcsu-7' were found sup ... | 1985 | 24253013 |

| extensive mitochondrial specific transcription of the brassica campestris mitochondrial genome. | we constructed a complete transcriptional map of the 218 kb brassica campestris (turnip) mitochondrial genome. twenty-four abundant and positionally distinct transcripts larger than 500 nucleotides were identified by northern analyses. approximately 30% (61 kb) of the genome is highly transcribed. in addition, a number of less abundant transcripts, many of which overlap with each other and with the major transcripts, were also detected. if each abundant transcript represents a distinct rrna or p ... | 1987 | 3601669 |
| tn5-mediated cloning of a genetic region from pseudomonas putida involved in the stimulation of plant root elongation. | transposon (tn5) mutagenesis was applied to pseudomonas putida gr12-2r3, which promotes root elongation (a phenotype designated pre) of brassica campestris under gnotobiotic conditions. of 3,000 tn5 transconjugants, only one mutant that lost pre activity but remained prototrophic and capable of plant root colonization was detected. this mutant was complemented by plasmid pre53, which contained a 15.0-kilobase dna insert isolated from a parental strain. the complemented mutant regained full pre a ... | 1988 | 16347807 |
| diploid brassica napus somatic hybrids: characterization of nuclear and organellar dna. | five somatic hybrids between brassica campestris and b. oleracea were obtained. molecular, morphological and cytological information all suggest that the resynthesized b. napus plants were hybrids. all five plants were diploid (2n=38) and had mainly bivalents at meiosis. seedset was low after selfing but normal after crossing with b. napus. molecular proof of the hybrid nature of these plants was obtained by hybridization of a rdna repeat to total dna. analysis of chloroplast dna restriction pat ... | 1988 | 24232106 |
| plant regeneration from isolated microspore cultures of chinese cabbage (brassica campestris spp. pekinensis). | isolated microspores of chinese cabbage (brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis) were incubated in modified nn medium containing 10% sucrose in darkness at 33°c for one day followed by culture at 25°c. after 14 days of culture, microspores developed into embryos ranging from globular to cotyledonary stage. plants were regenerated after transfer of embryos to medium containing 3% sucrose and no plant growth regulators. | 1989 | 24233535 |
| oil content and fatty acid composition of promising indian brassica campestris l. (toria) genotypes. | seeds of sixty four genotypes of brassica campestris l. (toria) were analyzed for oil content and fatty acid composition. oil content varied from 38.9% to 44.6%. major fatty acids viz. oleic, linoleic, linolenic, eicosenoic and erucic acids exhibited ranges from 10.1% to 17.3%, 5.9% to 14.5%, 5.2% to 15.0%, 7.7% to 13.7% and 39.6% to 59.9%, respectively. compared to the standard cultivar itsa, four genotypes contained 5 to 8% lower content of erucic acid; and six genotypes contained significantl ... | 1989 | 2762244 |
| rearrangement, amplification, and assortment of mitochondrial dna molecules in cultured cells of brassica campestris. | we compared brassica campestris mitochondrial and chloroplast dnas from whole plants and from a 2-year-old cell culture. no differences were observed in the chloroplast dnas (cpdnas), whereas the culture mitochondrial dna (mtdna) was extensively altered. hybridization analysis revealed that the alterations are due entirely to rearrangement. at least two inversions and one large duplication are found in the culture mtdna. the duplication element is shown to have the usual properties of a plant mt ... | 1989 | 24232468 |
| effect of agno3 and aminoethoxyvinylglycine on in vitro shoot and root organogenesis from seedling explants of recalcitrant brassica genotypes. | the presence of 1-10 μm aminoethoxyvinylglycine (avg) or 5-30 μm agno3 markedly enhanced shoot regeneration from cotyledon and hypocotyl cultures of eight recalcitrant brassica campestris and b. juncea genotypes tested. expiants of b. campestris ssp. chinensis and ssp. parachinensis grown with a high avg concentration (20 μm), regenerated poorly. all cytokinins tested were equally effective in promoting shoot formation, except that kinetin was inhibitory to shoot regeneration from hypocotyls of ... | 1990 | 24226701 |

| oleosin isoforms of high and low molecular weights are present in the oil bodies of diverse seed species. | oleosins are unique and major proteins localized on the surface of oil bodies in diverse seed species. we purified five different oleosins (maize [zea mays l.] kd 16 and kd 18, soybean [glycine max l.] kd 18 and kd 24, and rapeseed [brassica campestris l.] kd 20), and raised chicken antibodies against them. these antibodies were used to test for immunological cross-reactivity among oleosins from diverse seed species. within the same seed species, antibodies raised against one oleosin isoform did ... | 1990 | 16667830 |
| induction of hydrolytic enzymes in brassica campestris in response to pathovars of xanthomonas campestris. | inoculation of mature leaves of turnip (brassica campestris) with the incompatible xanthomonas campestris pv vitians resulted in the induction of beta-1,3-glucanase and chitinase/lysozyme (chl) activity. no increase in the basal activity of beta-1,3-glucanase was observed after inoculation of leaves with heat- or rifampicin-killed x. c. vitians, escherichia coli, or sterile water. inoculation with the compatible x. campestris pv campestris resulted in a slower induction of glucanase than that se ... | 1990 | 16667441 |
| expression of mammalian metallothionein suppresses glucosinolate synthesis in brassica campestris. | transfection of brassica campestris leaves with cauliflower mosaic virus (camv) harboring a mammalian metallothionein (mt) cdna at the orfii position lowered the glucosinolate (gs) concentration to approximately one-half the level in leaves infected with wild-type camv. this suppression was independent of the plant's sulfate status, suggesting that the pathways for protein (mt) and gs biosynthesis were competing for s on an equal basis. the expression of mt may have lowered the endogenous levels ... | 1990 | 16667497 |
| the effects of acetosyringone and ph on agrobacterium-mediated transformation vary according to plant species. | expiants of five plant species (allium cepa, antirrhinum majus, brassica campestris. glycine max, and nicotiana tabacum) were co-cultivated with three agrobacterium tumefaciens strains under different conditions to assess the effects of acetosyringone and medium ph on strain virulence. tumours were incited on all dicotyledonous species by strains n2/73 and a281. the presence of acetosyringone during co-cultivation generally enhanced the virulence of these strains, most markedly n2/73 on a. majus ... | 1991 | 24213690 |
| genetic analysis of determinants of disease severity and virus concentration in cauliflower mosaic virus. | cauliflower mosaic virus (camv) strains cm1841 and w260 produced markedly different symptoms when inoculated onto turnips (brassica campestris l. 'just right'). the cm1841 strain induced a mild degree of stunting of infected plants while strain w260 caused moderate to severe stunting. although cm1841 was significantly milder than w260, it accumulated to a significantly higher concentration than w260 in systemically infected leaves. we constructed a series of hybrid viruses in order to map region ... | 1991 | 2014640 |
| point mutations in the turnip crinkle virus capsid protein affect the symptoms expressed by nicotiana benthamiana. | in an effort to determine the biological function(s) of the capsid protein protruding domains unique to the plant carmo- and tombusviruses, we constructed turnip crinkle virus (tcv) mutants in which tandem, in-frame translation terminators replaced the first two codons of the five-amino acid hinge between the shell and the protruding domains of the tcv capsid protein. one of the mutants replicated in inoculated leaves and protoplasts without detectable accumulation of capsid protein. the mutant ... | 1991 | 2053278 |
| characterization of 2s seed storage protein of brassica campestris and its antigenic homology with seed proteins of other cruciferae. | the low molecular weight seed storage protein of brassica campestris has been isolated and its amino acid composition determined. antibody raised against this low molecular weight protein has been used to compare the antigenic similarity between the low molecular weight storage proteins of different cruciferae seeds by immunoprecipitation and western blotting. these studies revealed the existence of antigenically homologous proteins of identical molecular weights in seeds of other cruciferae but ... | 1991 | 1805785 |
| atrazine-resistant cytoplasmic male-sterile-nigra broccoli obtained by protoplast fusion between cytoplasmic male-sterile brassica oleracea and atrazine-resistant brassica campestris. | protoplast fusion was used to combine the cytoplasmic traits of atrazine resistance and male sterility in brassica oleracea var. italica (broccoli). leaf protoplasts from broccoli with the petaloid b. nigra type of cytoplasmic male sterility were fused with hypocotyl protoplasts from an atrazine-resistant biotype of b. campestris var. oleifera cv candle (oilseed rape). a total of 19 colonies regenerated shoots, all of which were broccolilike in phenotype, i.e., lacked trichomes. four shoots, all ... | 1991 | 24202359 |
| inheritance of isozyme and rflp markers in brassica campestris and comparison with b. oleracea. | using primarily cdna restriction fragment length polymorphism markers (rflps) previously located to brassica oleracea (cabbage, 2n=18) chromosomes, we initiated a comparative rflp map in an f2 population of b. campestris (turnip x mock pak-choi, 2n=20). as with b. oleracea, the genome of b. campestris showed extensive gene duplication, and the majority of detected duplicated loci were unlinked. only 6 of the 49 identified loci were represented as a single copy, and 3 of these 6 were clustered on ... | 1991 | 24213439 |
| relationship between protoplast size and critical field strength in protoplast electropulsing and application to reliable dna uptake in brassica. | protoplast diameter, a physical parameter controlling the susceptibility to electropermeation, was observed to vary between different batches of brassica napus and brassica campestris protoplasts. in order to control the permeation field strength associated with the protoplast size, we investigated the mathematical relationship between permeant field strength and protoplast size by measuring electroloading of the calcein dye under conditions that did not alter protoplast survival. a roughly line ... | 1991 | 24221493 |
| transformation of brassica oleracea with an s-locus gene from b. campestris changes the self-incompatibility phenotype. | an slg gene derived from the s-locus and encoding and s-locus-specific glycoprotein of brassica campestris l. was introduced via agrobacterium-mediated transformation into b. oleracea l. a self-incompatible hybrid and another with partial self-compatibility were used as recipients. the transgenic plants were altered in their pollen-stigma interaction and were fully compatible upon self-pollination. reciprocal crosses between the transgenic plants and untransformed control plants indicated that t ... | 1991 | 24221439 |
| patterns of mitochondrial dna instability in brassica campestris cultured cells. | we previously showed that the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) of a brassica campestris callus culture had undergone extensive rearrangements (i.e. large inversions and a duplication) relative to dna of the control plant [54]. in this study we observed that after continued growth, the mtdna of this culture continues to change, with rearranged forms amplifying and diminishing to varying proportions. strikingly similar changes were detected in the mtdna profiles of a variety of other long- and short-term ... | 1991 | 1653628 |
| role of ethylene on de novo shoot regeneration from cotyledonary explants of brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis (lour) olsson in vitro. | the promotive effect of agno(3) and aminoethoxyvinylglycine (avg) on in vitro shoot regeneration from cotyledons of brassica campestris ssp. pekinensis in relation to endogenous 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (acc) synthase, acc, and ethylene production was investigated. agno(3) enhanced acc synthase activity and acc accumulation, which reached a maximum after 3 to 7 days of culture. acc accumulation was concomitant with increased emanation of ethylene which peaked after 14 days. in cont ... | 1991 | 16668148 |
| genetics of brassica campestris. 1. genetic constraints on evolution of life-history characters. | energy allocation arguments suggest a possible tradeoff between timing and magnitude of reproduction: plants that postpone reproduction may accumulate greater resources and consequently produce more offspring. however, early reproduction may be favored when adult mortality is high. tradeoffs among life-history characters may be a consequence of constraints imposed by genetic and environmental covariation among traits. in this paper we examine the genetic basis of the relationship between timing ... | 1991 | 28567862 |
| molecular and cytological evidence of deletions in alien chromosomes for two monosomic addition lines of brassica campestris-oleracea. | a series of rflp and isozyme markers were followed in the progenies of two alien addition lines of brassica campestris-oleracea. one of the lines, carrying the c genome chromosome 4 as the alien chromosome, was surveyed for six markers. fifty-four percent of the plants carrying alien chromosomes displayed all the expected makers, whereas the rest had one to five markers missing. the second line for c genome chromosome 5 displayed a similar behavior when surveyed for three markers. all three mark ... | 1991 | 24221206 |
| efficient shoot regeneration of brassica campestris using cotyledon explants cultured in vitro. | a system has been developed for efficient regeneration of shoots from brassica campestris in vitro. using 4-day old cotyledons with petioles as expiants and a combination of ba and naa in the regeneration media, up to 70% of expiants produced shoots after 2 weeks in culture. the optimal conditions for regeneration were found to include a ba concentration of 2mgl(-1) and naa concentration of 1mgl(-1). light intensity had a profound effect on regeneration potential. the use of silver ions as an in ... | 1991 | 24220709 |
| leaf physiological aspects of nitrogen-use efficiency in brassica campestris l.: quantitative genetic variation across nutrient treatments. | quantitative genetic parameters for leaf physiological and whole-plant aspects of nitrogen-use efficiency in brassica camprestris l. were estimated in three nutrient treatments in the greenhouse. narrow-sense heritabilities and genetic correlations varied across treatments for some traits. sire effects were significant for leaf nitrogen content in near-optimal and super-optimal, but not in suboptimal nutrient treatments. additive genetic variation for two estimates of leaf physiological nitrogen ... | 1991 | 24221160 |
| isolation and developmental expression of bcp1, an anther-specific cdna clone in brassica campestris. | differential screening of a mature brassica campestris pollen cdna library has identified five cdna clones that represent transcripts expressed exclusively, or at elevated levels, in pollen. we show here that the expression of one of these, clone bcp1, is tissue specific and temporally regulated. the gene is activated during microspore development, as detected by in situ hybridization. expression is enhanced at the time of pollen maturation and during pollen germination. in situ hybridization ha ... | 1991 | 1821760 |

| dielectric spectroscopy of plant protoplasts. | the relative permittivity and conductivity of the mesophyll protoplasts isolated from brassica campestris leaves and tulipa gesneriana petals were measured over a frequency range from 1khz to 500 mhz.these protoplasts showed a broad dielectric dispersion, which was composed of three subdispersions, termed beta(1)-, beta(2)-, and beta(3)-dispersion in increasing order of frequency.the three subdispersions were assigned to the maxwell-wagner dispersion caused by charging processes at the interface ... | 1992 | 19431864 |
| ecological risks of transgenic plants: effects of spatial dispersion on gene flow. | the spread of advantageous transgenic genes from crop plants into wild and weedy relatives is a potential ecological problem. the available theory indicates that the spread of a gene, over space and time, will depend in part on the relative selective advantage of that gene, and in part on gene flow, or the probability distribution of gene movement from source to target plants within a single generation. risk assessment will require knowledge of both. this paper describes an empirical investigati ... | 1992 | 27759266 |
| enhanced shoot regeneration from brassica campestris by silver nitrate. | the morphogenetic response of brassica campestris genotype r500 to inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis and action was investigated. a medium containing 1.0 mg.l(-1) naa, 2.0 mg.l(-1) bap, and 30 or 60 μm agno3 significantly enhanced both the percentage shoot regeneration and the number of shoots per cotyledon expiant. although callus proliferation occurred on hypocotyl segments, no shoots were formed in response to agno3 with expiants older than five days. cotyledons older than six days formed s ... | 1992 | 24213282 |
| agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of oilseed brassica campestris: transformation frequency is strongly influenced by the mode of shoot regeneration. | protocols were developed for efficient shoot regeneration from hypocotyl and cotyledon explants of oilseed brassica campestris (brown sarson) cv. 'pusa kalyani'. these were used for genetic transformation by an agrobacterium based binary vector carrying neomycin phosphotransferase (npt) gene and β-glucuronidase (gus)-intron gene for plant cell specific expression. transformed plants were recovered from hypocotyl explants at a frequency of 7-13%. addition of silver nitrate markedly enhanced shoot ... | 1992 | 24213158 |
| a brassica campestris-alboglabra addition line and its use for gene mapping, intergenomic gene transfer and generation of trisomics. | brassica campestris-alboglabra monosomic addition lines were developed from a trigenomic brassica hybrid (2 n=3 x=29, aac) obtained by backcrossing a resynthesized b. napus (2 n=4 x=38, aacc) line to its parental b. campestris (2 n=2 x=20, aa) line. one addition line was characterized genetically with three loci specific for the alien chromosome and cytologically by meiotic analysis. the following results were obtained.
