Brassica Breeding and Research - Areas of Interest Brassica is a genus within the Brassicaceae (Cruciferae), commonly known as the mustard family. Brassica napus, is thought to exist primarily through a natural cross between close relatives, the parents, B. oleracea (Cabbage, Kale, Cauliflower, Broccoli) X B. Brassica juncea: The center of origin is believed to be in Central Asia-Himalayas, with migration to secondary centers in India, China and the Caucasus (mountainous region of south-central Russia). www.ag.uidaho.edu /brassica/area_of_interest.htm   (1197 words)

Brassica juncea can take the heat | Pioneer Hi-Bred Limited Brassica juncea promises to provide an indispensable cropping option for farmers in the hottest and driest regions of the southern Prairies. Brassica juncea is poised to boost canola production to upwards of 25 per cent of the region’s acreage and is also well adapted for North and South Dakota and into Nebraska. While this is happening, and canola juncea is being established as a crop, Canadian exporters are working with overseas buyers and end-users – mainly from Japan – to make sure they are comfortable with both the quality of canola meal and oil from juncea. www.pioneer.com /products/canada/canola_center/brassica.htm   (887 words)

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED MUSTARD IN INDIA It is necessary that the entire background of cultivation of Brassicas, the problems in producing conventional hybrids among them, the importance of the recent technology used, and the irrelevance of the allegations made by the activists, are made known to the public. Brassica is a group of species of the mustard family Brassicaceae, which are an important source of edible and industrial oil, condiment and vegetables. Wild species of Brassica have genetically determined self-incompatibility factors that prevent the male cells of a flower from fertilizing the female cells of the same flower (true self pollination), while this is easy between flowers of neighbouring plants of the same variety (cross pollination). www.fbae.org /Channels/Views/genetically_engineered_mustard_1.htm   (923 words)

Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed (Lear) Oil Derived From Canola-quality Brassica juncea (L.) CZERN. Lines PC 97-03, PC98-44 AND ... Brassica juncea lines PC97-03, PC98-44 and PC98-45 were developed using conventional breeding and selection techniques to meet canola-quality standards of less than 2% erucic acid in oil and less than 30 moles of aliphatic glucosinolates per gram in canola meal. The three canola-quality B. juncea lines were developed through interspecific crosses between an Indian B. juncea line and low glucosinolate, zero erucic acid B. rapa line. Since these three canola-quality B. juncea lines are products of traditional breeding, and there was no novel DNA or novel protein introduced into the plant, there are no additional toxicity or allergenicity concerns with this product. www.hc-sc.gc.ca /fn-an/gmf-agm/appro/low_erucic-faible_erucique_e.html   (676 words)

Toxicity of Indian Mustard and Allyl Isothiocyanate to Masked Chafer Beetle Larvae The toxicity of Brassica tissues is derived from glucosinolates that are converted to isothiocyanates, organic cyanides, oxazolidinethiones, and ionic thiocyanates by the enzyme myrosinase (thioglucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.3.1) in solution (4,6,10). Brassica juncea tissue was collected before each experiment from a field plot at the University of Tennessee Plant Sciences Farm, Knoxville.

FDA/CFSAN/OPA: Agency Response Letter: GRAS Notice No. GRN 000033 The notice informs FDA of the view of Canola Council of Canada that low erucic acid oil derived from Brassica juncea is GRAS, through scientific procedures, for use in margarine and shortening and as a salad and frying oil. According to your notice, Brassica juncea seeds, from which the oil is derived, have been bred to be low in glucosinolates. The oil that is produced from Brassica juncea seeds is produced by the same extraction and refining processes that are used to produce low erucic acid rapeseed oil, which is derived from Brassica napus or Brassica campestris. www.cfsan.fda.gov /~rdb/opa-g033.html   (586 words)

Brussel Sprouts Brussel sprouts, Brassica oleracea var gemmifera, are known to be native to cool regions in northern Europe. The origin of Brasssica oleracea var gemmifera is thought to be the result of a mutation from the savoy cabbage, Brassica olearcea capitata L. sabuda subgroup.

Canadian Food Inspection Agency - Decision - Fats, Oils and Fatty Acids Question: Brassica juncea has traditionally been considered a mustard plant and a source of mustard oil. Recently a "canola quality" version of Brassica juncea was developed by lowering the erucic acid content.

RESISTANCE TO A BRASSICA JUNCEA-ATTACKING ISOLATE OF LEPTOSPHAERIA MACULANS IN B. NAPUS-B. JUNCEA LINES Due to the narrow genetic background of current oilseed rape cultivars and limitations for GM crops in many parts of the world the importance of interspecific resistance transfer for plant breeding is expected to increase in the next years. A test with double inoculation, performed in the greenhouse, was found to be the method of choice for accurate evaluation of plant resistance levels, both at the seedling and adult plant stages. The latter was known to overcome the Brassica B genome resistance. www.actahort.org /books/706/706_30.htm   (334 words)
