  • Microprojectile bombardment transformation of brassica
    Publication number: 20070107077
    Abstract: The invention relates to the genetic manipulation of plants, particularly plants of the genus Brassica. Methods are provided for producing transgenic Brassica plants involving the introduction of a DNA construct by microprojectile bombardment into pre-incubated microspores, microspore-derived embryos and microspore-derived hypocotyls. The methods find use in the development of improved agricultural varieties of Brassica plants through the incorporation of desirable agronomic traits.

  • Sclerotinia-resistant Brassica and methods for development of resistance to Sclerotinia
    Publication number: 20060294625
    Abstract: The invention provides Brassica lines having an average Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Disease Incidence (SSDI %) score which is less than about 60% of the SSDI % score of appropriate check varieties. Methodologies to screen for Sclerotinia resistance in the greenhouse, growth chamber and field are also provided.
    Type: Application
