TL;DR: Genetic diversity forms a very useful guide not only for investigating the relationships among Brassica genotypes but also in the selection of parents for heterotic hybrid combinations, despite the lack of direct correlation between the genetic distance and the degree of heterosis.

TL;DR: Introgression lines developed following hybridization of three wild crucifers with Brassica genotypes with resistance to Sclerotinia rot obtained from Australia, India and China through an ACIAR collaboration programme were used as susceptible check comparisons.

TL;DR: The outcomes of studies in relation to pathogens, particularly pathogen biodiversity, and diseases of oilseed Brassicas over past decades are utilized as a basis for outlining the challenges, opportunities and priorities for improving on current management successes such that crop yields can be maintained in the face of expected pathogen threats likely to occur under future climate scenarios.

TL;DR: Male sterility conferred by ogu cytoplasm of Raphanus sativus has been transferred to Brassica juncea cv ‘RLM 198’ from male-sterile B. napus through repeated backcrossing and selection.

TL;DR: "Breeding Oilseed Brassicas" reviews the past accomplishments in order to identify research gaps and suggest ways and means to meet the challenge of sustainable productivity.
