Foliar K application delays leaf senescence of winter rapeseed(Brassica napus L.) under waterlogging

To better understand waterlogging effect on leaf senescence in winter rapseed (Brassica napus L.) during flowering stage, experiments were designed to explore foliar K application influences on adverse effects of waterlogging stress. Winter rapeseed was sprayed with K after waterlogging at initial flowering stage. Results indicated that waterlogging significantly decreased leaf net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) and transpiration rate (Tr). It also declined maximum quantum yield of PS II (Fv/Fm), quantum yield of electron transport (ΦPS II) and photochemical quenching (qP), but increased leaf non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and minimal fluorescence (Fo). Interestingly, exogenous application of K significantly alleviated waterlogging-induced photosynthesis inhibition. Foliar K application increased RuBisCO activation, chlorophyll and soluble protein contents, while significantly decreased MDA content under waterlogging stress. Moreover, K supplementation improved accumulation of K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, N, Zn2+, Mn2+, Fe2+ in leaves. In general, foliar K application is effective inalleviating deleterious effects of waterlogging stress and delays leaf senescence of winter rapeseed.

Exogenous application of a low concentration of melatonin enhances salt tolerance in rapeseed(Brassica napus L.) seedlings

Melatonin is a naturally occurring compound in plants. Here, we tested the effect of exogenous melatonin on rapeseed（Brassica napus L.） grown under salt stress. Application of 30 μmol L^-1 melatonin alleviated salt-induced growth inhibition, and the shoot fresh weight, the shoot dry weight, the root fresh weight, and the root dry weight of seedlings treated with exogenous melatonin increased by 128.2, 142.9, 122.2, and 124.2%, respectively, compared to those under salt stress. In addition, several physiological parameters were evaluated. The activities of antioxidant enzymes including peroxidase（POD）, catalase（CAT） and ascorbate peroxidase（APX） were enhanced by 16.5, 19.3, and 14.2% compared to their activities in plants without exogenous melatonin application under salt stress, while the H2O2 content was decreased by 11.2% by exogenous melatonin. Furthermore, melatonin treatment promoted solute accumulation by increasing the contents of proline（26.8%）, soluble sugars（15.1%） and proteins（58.8%）. The results also suggested that higher concentrations（〉50 μmol L^-1） of melatonin could attenuate or even prevent the beneficial effects on seedling development. In conclusion, application of a low concentration of exogenous melatonin to rapeseed plants under salt stress can improve the H2O2-scavenging capacity by enhancing the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as POD, CAT and APX, and can also alleviate osmotic stress by promoting the accumulation of osmoregulatory substances such as soluble proteins, proline, and water soluble glucan. Ultimately, exogenous melatonin facilitates root development and improves the biomass of rapeseed seedlings grown under salt stress, thereby effectively alleviating the damage of salt stress in rapeseed seedlings.

Genetic Diversity of Testa Pigments and RAPD Marker of Yellow-Seeded Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

14 yellow-seeded rapeseed lines (Brassia napus L.) from different genetic sources were used to analyze diversity of testa pigments content, oil and protein content, and RAPD markers. The results showed that the anthocyanin and melanin were the most important pigments in testa and their content were responsible for the variation in seed color ranging from orange to black yellow, 14 yellow-seeded lines could be classified into 3 groups: high anthocyanin content group with anthocyanin content over 2. 54 mg g-1 DW, the seed color was light yellow or orange; low pigments content group with low content of anthocyanin and melanin, the testa was transparent and the seed color was light yellow, greenish yellow or twany; high melanin content group with melanin content over 178. 4U(A290nm) , the testa was black, the seed color was black yellow. Oil content changed from 36.2% to 45. 5%, protein content from 21.1% to 27.7% , and the correlation analysis revealed that the oil content is highly significantly negatively correlated with the protein content. The cluster analysis showed that the extensive genetic variation existed among 14 yellow-seeded lines by using unweighted paired group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) based on RAPD markers which were amplified with decamer primers, the genetic similarity among them ranged from 0. 25 to 0.909, and 14 yellow-seeded lines could put into 2 clusters corresponding to genome difference.

Dissecting the genetic architecture of glucosinolate compounds for quality improvement in flowering stalk tissues of Brassica napus

Glucosinolates(GSLs) and their hydrolytic products contribute to the quality traits of rapeseed flowering stalk tissues, such as taste, flavor and anticarcinogenic properties(Glucoraphanin). However, little is known about the genetic mechanisms of GSL accumulation in rapeseed flowering stalks. In this study, the variation and genetic architecture of GSL metabolites in flowering stalk tissues were investigated for the first time among a panel of 107 accessions. All GSL compounds exhibited continuous and wide variations in the present population. Progoitrin,glucobrassicanapin and gluconapin were the most abundant GSL compounds. Five quantitative trait loci(QTL) significantly associated with three GSL compounds were identified by genome-wide association study. GRA_C04 was under selected during modern breeding, in which the ratio of lower GSL haplotype(HAP2) in the accessions bred before 1990(52.56%) was significantly lower than that after 1990(78.95%). Four candidate genes, BnaA01. SOT16, BnaA06. SOT17, Bna A06. MYB51a, and Bna A06. MYB51b, were identified in the GTL_A01 and 4OH_A06 regions.These findings provide new insights into GSL biosynthesis in flowering stalk tissues and facilitate quality improvement in rapeseed flowering stalks.

Identification of suitable reference genes in leaves and roots of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) under different nutrient deficiencies

Nutrient deficiency stresses often occur simultaneously in soil. Thus, it＇s necessary to investigate the mechanisms underlying plant responses to multiple stresses through identification of some key stress-responsive genes. Quantitative real-time PCR （qRT-PCR） is essential for detecting the expression of the interested genes, of which the selection of suitable reference genes is a crucial step before qRT-PCR. To date, reliable reference genes to normalize qRT-PCR data under different nutrient deficiencies have not been reported in plants. In this study, expression of ten candidate reference genes was detected in leaves and roots of rapeseed （Brassica napus L.） after implementing different nutrient deficiencies for 14 days. These candidate genes, included two traditionally used reference genes and eight genes selected from an RNA- Seq dataset. Two software packages （GeNorm, NormFinder） were employed to evaluate candidate gene stability. Results showed that VHA-E1 was the highest-ranked gene in leaves of nutrient-deficient rapeseed, while VHA-G1 and UBC21 were most stable in nutrient-deficient roots. When rapeseed leaves and roots were combined, UBC21, HTB1, VHA-G1 and A CT7 were most stable among all samples. To evaluate the stabilities of the highest-ranked genes, the relative expression of two target genes, BnTrxl;1 and BnPhtl;3 Were further determined. The results showed that the relative expression of BnTrxl;1 depended on reference gene selection, suggesting that it＇s necessary to evaluate the stability of reference gene prior to qRT-PCR. This study provides suitable reference genes for gene expression analysis of rapeseed responses to different nutrient deficiencies, which is essential for elucidation of mechanisms underlying rapeseed responses to multiple nutrient deficiency stresses

New situation has proposed higher requirements to yield, oil quality and safety, etc. In the review, some aspects about rapeseed breeding in China were reported, including breeding of high-oil content rapeseed, breeding of extremely early-maturing rapeseed, development of mechanization and development of chemical emasculation. Some prospects and expectations were also proposed.

Worldwide rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) research:A bibliometric analysis during 2011–2021

Rapeseed(Brassica napus L.) is the world?s second produced oilseed and accounts for nearly 12% of world major vegetable oil production.For the last 10 years,the production,planting area,and yield of rapeseed have been stable,with improvement of seed quality and especially seed oil content.This paper presented the worldwide rapeseed research by using the bibliometric analysis of papers published during the period 2011–2021.In total,7617 articles and reviews were included in this analysis.Our results showed that the global publication on rapeseed increased substantially in the past 11 years,and the number of publications of China grew significantly in particular.China was the largest contributor to rapeseed research with higher H-index value and number of citations compared to the other countries.China also had the largest number of leading universities and institutions,of which Huazhong Agricultural University was the most productive.The scientific mapping including co-authorship network of countries/regions and authors,and co-occurrence network of author keywords were analyzed using VOSviewer software.The most common rapeseed research topics included oil,rapeseed meal,yield,biodiesel,fatty acids,salt stress,and proteins,while the current research focused on topics such as:abiotic stress,evolution,expression analysis,phylogenetic analysis,heterosis,polyploidy,and transcriptomics.This paper depicts the knowledge structure of current global rapeseed research that may help direct the future studies for relevant researchers.

Mechanical Harvesting Effects on Seed Yield Loss,Quality Traits and Profitability of Winter Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)

China is one of the most important rapeseed producing countries in the world. Effective mechanical harvesting time for decreasing harvesting loss of winter oilseed rape has been becoming a critical factor. An elite cultivar Zhongshuang 11 （Brassica napus L.） was employed in two rounds of field experiments from 2009 to 2011. Seeds were sown with machine, three combine harvesting times namely combine harvesting A, B, and C （CHA, CHB, and CHC） were designed and manual harvesting （MH） as control was performed at maturity. The harvesting treatments were determined according to color of pod and seed in the field. Seed yield loss and quality in different treatments were evaluated. Results showed that both seed yields and harvesting losses in 2009-2010 were higher than that in 2010-2011, whereas seed oil contents in 2010-2011 were higher than that in 2009-2010. The highest yield appeared in CHB, which was significantly higher than that in MH. Furthermore, harvesting loss in CHB were 50% that in MH. Seed oil content and chlorophyll exhibited no obvious difference between CHB and MH. Economic profit analysis demonstrated that mechanical sowing/combine harvesting （MS/CH） showed an input/output ratio of 1：1.6, and it was 1：1.2 in mechanical sowing/manual harvesting （MS/MH）. Labor-cost accounted for more than 70% of the total cost in MS/MH, which led to low profitability to a great extent. Our results suggested that CHB was the optimum harvesting time for winter oilseed rape along the Yangtze River.

Comparison of transcriptomes undergoing waterlogging at the seedling stage between tolerant and sensitive varieties of Brassica napus L.

RNA sequencing of the sensitive GH01 variety of Brassica napus L. seedling roots under 12 h of waterlogging was compared with previously published data of the ZS9 tolerant variety to unravel genetic mechanisms of waterlogging tolerance beyond natural variation. A total of 2 977 genes with similar expression patterns and 17 genes with opposite expression patterns were identiifed in the transcription proifles of ZS9 and GH01. An additional 1 438 genes in ZS9 and 1 861 genes in GH01 showed strain speciifc regulation. Analysis of the overlapped genes between ZS9 and GH01 revealed that waterlogging tolerance is determined by ability to regulate genes with similar expression patterns. Moreover, differences in both gene expression proifles and abscisic acid (ABA) contents between the two varieties suggest that ABA may play some role in waterlogging tolerance. This study identiifes a subset of candidate genes for further functional analysis.

Regional Evaluation of Winter Rapeseed Response to K Fertilization, K Use Efficiency, and Critical Level of Soil K in the Yangtze River Valley

The investigation was carried out to study the response of winter rapeseed to potassium （K） feritlization and the critical soil available K level for current winter rapeseed production in the Yangtze River Valley （YRV） of China. A total of 132 field experiments were conducted in fields of farmers in the major winter rapeseed growing areas in YRV in 2000/2001 and 2004/2005 to 2006/2007 during growing season. Results of these field experiments showed that the average rapeseed yield increment resulting from 100 kg K ha-1 application was 358 kg ha-1, an increase over the control CK （no K） of 18.0% in 2005/2006 and 2006/2007. The average internal use efficiency （IE） of K was higher in the CK treatment （21.9 kg grain, kg-1 K uptake） than in the ＋K （100 kg K ha-1） treatment （17.7 kg grain, kg-1 K uptake）. Winter rapeseed required 68.1 kg of K to produce 1 000 kg seed. The recovery efficiency of K fertilizer in rapeseed production averaged 39.3%. The K balance was negative, with an average net removal of 117.6 kg K ha-1 in the CK treatment annually, and 56.8 kg K ha-1 in the ＋K treatment. The results indicated that there was a significant negative relationship between yield increments by K application and soil available K content. Based on the relative yield of CK/＋K at 90% level, the critical level of soil available K （NH4OAc-extractable K） was 135 mg kg-1.

油菜(B.napus L.)硼素营养与结实性的研究

硼营养不足,油菜植株各器官含硼量均下降,下降幅度因器官而异,而以花器官下降幅度最大。缺硼时,花器发育异常,雄蕊在解剖生理上的异常现象尤为突出,严重时花粉败育,花蕾脱落,甚至出现颗粒无收的现象。花粉败育表现为花粉囊空瘪,核质解体,无孢原组织分化,绒毡层发育异常,小孢子原生质团溢出药壁外等现象。硼营养不足降低了花药中可溶性糖、淀粉、游离脯氨酸和可溶性蛋白质含量。同时花粉活力和呼吸强度也降低。研究还表明油菜品种对硼营养反应存在基因型差异。宁油8号比宁油7号对缺硼反应更为敏感。缺硼条件下,改善硼营养后,油菜各器官含硼量提高最多的是花器,并使有效分枝数、有效角果数和每角平均实粒数增加,从而提高油菜籽粒产量。

Exogenous strigolactones promote lateral root growth by reducing the endogenous auxin level in rapeseed

Strigolactones(SLs)are newly discovered plant hormones which regulate the normal development of different plant organs,especially root architecture.Lateral root formation of rapeseed seedlings before winter has great effects on the plant growth and seed yield.Here,we treated the seedlings of Zhongshuang 11(ZS11),an elite conventional rapeseed cultivar,with different concentrations of GR24(a synthetic analogue of strigolactones),and found that a low concentration(0.18μmol L–1)of GR24 could significantly increase the lateral root growth,shoot growth,and root/shoot ratio of seedlings.RNA-Seq analysis of lateral roots at 12 h,1 d,4 d,and 7 d after GR24 treatment showed that 2301,4626,1595,and 783 genes were significantly differentially expressed,respectively.Function enrichment analysis revealed that the plant hormone transduction pathway,tryptophan metabolism,and the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway were over-represented.Moreover,transcription factors,including AP2/ERF,AUX/IAA,NAC,MYB,and WRKY,were up-regulated at 1 d after GR24 treatment.Metabolomics profiling further demonstrated that the amounts of various metabolites,such as indole-3-acetic acid(IAA)and cis-zeatin were drastically altered.In particular,the concentrations of endogenous IAA significantly decreased by 52.4 and 75.8%at 12 h and 1 d after GR24 treatment,respectively.Our study indicated that low concentrations of exogenous SLs could promote the lateral root growth of rapeseed through interaction with other phytohormones,which provides useful clues for the effects of SLs on root architecture and crop productivity.

Effects of harvesting method and date on yield loss and seed quality of rapeseed

China is one of the major rapeseed production countries in the world,but harvesting mechanization was still backward,and high harvest loss was a key inhibiting factor for rapeseed production.To obtain optimum harvesting date for winter rape in the Yangtze River Valley of China,artificial simulated combine harvesting and artificial two-stage harvesting were adopted to find correlations between harvesting date,rape variety,seed oil content,protein content,grain moisture rate,rapeseed straw moisture content,rapeseed unthreshing rate,grain drop loss rate,thousand seeds weight(TSW),and harvesting economic coefficient(HEC).Analysis of variance showed that rapeseed oil content,protein content and TSW were correlated with rape variety;HEC was correlated with harvesting method and rape variety.Rape variety was the dominant factor of rapeseed oil content,protein content,TSW and HEC.Grain moisture rate,un-threshing rate,grain drop loss rate and straw moisture content were correlated with harvesting method and date.Harvesting date was the dominant factor of rapeseed moisture rate,un-threshing rate,grain drop loss rate and straw moisture rate.Single factor tests further proved that harvesting date had less impact on rapeseed oil content,protein content,TSW and HEC.It showed little correlation with rapeseed quality except grain moisture rate.The optimum harvesting date could be known by change in straw moisture content.The combined harvesting should be carried out during the grain moisture content of 15%-20%with TSW stabilized in the highest level.The twostage harvesting cutting should be carried out at the grain moisture content of 35%-40%.This research offered a reference to harvesting method and date for rape cultivated in the Yangtze River Valley.

【目的】作物产量受到生态环境的显著影响。研究不同气候条件下冬油菜的产量形成机制,为冬油菜高产品种选育和高产栽培提供理论基础。【方法】选择高产油菜品种秦优1618(Q1618)、油菜材料QF1以及常规油菜品种中双11(ZS11),2020-2021年在黄淮地区(陕西永寿)和长江中游地区(湖北阳逻)分别进行大田试验,研究不同生态区3个不同品种冬油菜的生长发育和生理特性。【结果】不同生态区显著影响冬油菜根系生长特性、干物质积累分配和碳氮积累特征。两个生态区均以Q1618的根系生长最为旺盛,其根长在越冬期较ZS11和QF1分别平均提高了21.0%和6.0%。此外,在阳逻3个品种油菜花期的根系主要集中分布在土壤浅层(0-15 cm),永寿点主要集中分布在土壤深层(15-30 cm)。与ZS11和QF1相比,两个地点的Q1618油菜花期的深层根长、根表面积、根系平均直径、根尖数分别平均提高了138.1%、78.8%、24.2%、83.3%和104.8%、103.1%、44.2%、41.6%。油菜越冬期和花期根系生长与产量显著正相关,且在永寿点相关性更强;越冬期,黄淮产区油菜地上部干物质积累减缓,叶片氮含量降低,根部可溶性糖含量积累,各器官(根、茎、叶)中蔗糖、果糖含量整体表现为QF1>Q1618>ZS11,且该区各器官可溶性糖含量与产量正相关。长江中游产区冬油菜根茎叶基本处于同步生长期,其越冬期干物质积累量整体较黄淮产区提高3.0倍,而该区越冬期干物质积累与单株有效角果数显著正相关。抽薹期后,两个试验点均以Q1618的干物质积累量最大,永寿试验点冬油菜成熟期的干物质积累量和角果中的干物质分配比例提高,分别较阳逻点显著提高10.3%和39.0%。整体而言,长江中游产区提高了冬油菜单株有效角果数,但黄淮产区冬油菜通过提高每角粒数和千粒重,其实测产量(除ZS11受冻害严重减产外)较长江中游产区平均提高了21.1%。相关性分析也表明,永寿点油菜产量与每角粒数和千粒重显著正相关,阳逻点油菜产量与单株有效角果数显著正相关。【结论】长江中游地区通过促进油菜冬前生长,提高单株有效角果数。黄淮产区则通过适当控制越冬期油菜地上部营养体的生长,抽薹期后促进根和茎秆的干物质向籽粒分配来提高每角粒数和千粒重,有利于实现冬油菜高产。

NaCl和Na2SO4胁迫对白菜型冬油菜种子萌发的影响及其耐盐性分析

以6个耐盐性不同的白菜型冬油菜种子为材料,将NaCl和Na_2SO_4按摩尔比1:1混合,设浓度为0(CK)、45、90、135、180、240 mmol·L^(-1)6个处理,测定其对种子萌发和生长参数的影响,研究不同冬油菜种子萌发时的耐盐能力,以期为耐盐冬油菜的筛选提供依据。结果表明:(1)45 mmol·L^(-1)和90 mmol·L^(-1)盐浓度对种子萌发的影响不明显;135 mmol·L^(-1)和180 mmol·L^(-1)盐浓度明显抑制了种子萌发,表现为种子发芽势、发芽率、发芽指数、活力指数、胚根长、胚芽长、鲜重和干重均随盐浓度的增大而明显降低。因此,135~180 mmol·L^(-1)盐浓度可认为是耐盐性鉴定的适宜范围。(2)不同指标对盐胁迫的敏感程度差异较大,发芽指数、活力指数、胚芽长和鲜重与盐浓度均为极显著负相关,对盐胁迫最为敏感。(3)3个耐盐冬油菜ky-1、ky-10-191和ky-NDJ的种子发芽指数、活力指数、胚芽长和鲜重的耐盐临界值显著高于原有品系平油1号、10-191和ky-NDJ。ky-1、ky-10-191、ky-NDJ的耐盐临界值分别为133.895、123.264、107.399 mmol·L^(-1),而平油1号、10-191、NDJ的耐盐临界值分别为117.394、103.947、93.834 mmol·L^(-1)。用隶属函数法综合评价,耐盐性强弱顺序依次为ky-1>ky-10-191>平油1号>kyNDJ>10-191>NDJ。可见,ky-1、ky-10-191和ky-NDJ的耐盐性较平油1号、10-191和NDJ均有所提高。

油菜抗咪唑啉酮类除草剂基因BnALS1R等位基因特异PCR标记的开发与应用

播种期降水偏多对油菜重要农艺性状和产量的影响

为了解播种期降水偏多对油菜产量的影响,选用10个国家区试高产优质油菜新品种,分析正常年份(2019/2020)与降水偏多年份(2020/2021)在长江中游11个生态点的重要农艺性状、产量、品质和抗性,评估2020/2021年减产原因。通过正常年份与渍害年份逐月降雨量、温度等气象数据变化与产量与农艺性状变化进行相关和回归分析,结果发现,即使在正常排灌情况下,灾害年份油菜产量显著下降,播种期平均推迟11.5 d,生育期缩短11.2 d,产量和产油量分别极显著下降21.8%和23.2%。其中油菜株高、单株有效角果数和收获密度分别下降9.2%、21.1%和6%,均达到显著或极显著水平,而含油量、芥酸、硫苷、千粒重、角粒数、菌核病病指等性状变化不显著。回归分析表明,10月降雨大幅增加、形成渍害是减产的直接原因,而次生灾害如降雨导致播期推迟、秋季气温偏低和冬季降水减少导致的间接影响更大,对减产的贡献分别达到25.4%、50.5%和33%。对10个品种的产量和产油量分析,耐渍品种的选择应综合考虑正常年份产量、耐渍指数和含油量等指标,其中H1951、越优577、9zyYP12等品种正常年份产油量比对照增产11%~16.5%,灾害年份比对照增产5.4%~18.4%,生产上在做好开沟降渍的同时,抢播早播并增加密度可有效提高产量,有利于最大程度减轻灾害损失。

油菜乙酰乳酸合酶突变体S638N的酶学特性及其对ALS类除草剂的抗性

在对油菜抗咪唑啉酮类除草剂基因Bn ALS1R克隆与功能验证基础上,为比较抗性基因编码的乙酰乳酸合酶突变体S638N酶学特性及其对ALS类除草剂抗性与野生型的差异,构建基因原核表达载体,在大肠杆菌中表达S638N和野生型的重组融合蛋白。SDS-PAGE和Western blot分析表明,S638N和野生型均能表达出约74 k D的特异性重组蛋白。纯化目的蛋白,在不同温度和pH条件下,测定S638N和野生型的酶活性。结果显示,温度和pH对突变酶活性的影响与野生型相同,表现为先升后降,在37℃、pH 7.0条件下催化活性均最高。同时,该突变酶的酶学动力学参数Km和Vmax与野生型没有显著差异,其对3个辅助因子的响应曲线也与野生型类似,缺少其中任何一个辅助因子均使突变酶S638N基本都没有活性。然而,突变酶S638N对IMI类除草剂抗性显著高于野生型,而对Su类除草剂敏感性和野生型相同。因此,突变酶S638N具有对IMI类除草剂的专一抗性,但未改变酶学反应特征。
