Post graduate students in Kobe University's Graduate School of Agricultural Science have revealed the role of genes in controlling flowering time in the Brassica rapa family. Satoko Takada and ...

A new genomic study has unlocked the genetic secrets behind the breeding of flowering Chinese cabbage—a popular leafy ...

“To significantly reduce wheat bugs in brassica fields, first establish alyssum at its flowering stage or alyssum plus wheat at its seed-ripening stage around the perimeter of the brassica field ...

Gus, a member of our farm crew, started eating the tops raw — flowers, leaves and stems — all of them tender and sweet. There they were, the perfect brassica shoots hiding right under my nose ...

“We found that plants experiencing drought conditions tend to flower earlier than those in well-watered environments,” he said. This evolutionary strategy ensures that plants can produce seeds before ...

The collection of these genes is referred to as the Flowering Time Regulatory Pathway. The genomic nature of this pathway has been studied for several decades in model species of Arabidopsis and ...

Some of the nation’s favourite brassica vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower, are available all year round. This is because growers plant different crop varieties that flower at different ...
