NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

The treatments consisted of combinations of two rapeseed genotypes (Hyola 61 and Hyola 433), three pollination tests (uncovered area, covered area without insects and covered area containing a single colony of Africanized Apis mellifera honeybees) and two sowing dates (May 25th, 2011 and June 25th, 2011). The presence of Africanized honeybees during flowering time increased the productivity of the rapeseed. -

Section 4 Oilseed Rape (Brassica Napus L.)
SECTION 4 OILSEED RAPE (BRASSICA NAPUS L.) 1. General Information This consensus document addresses the biology of the species Brassica napus L. Included are general descriptions of this species as a crop plant, its origin as a species, its reproductive biology, its centres of origin, and its general ecology. The ecology of this species is not described in relation to specific geographic regions. Special emphasis has been placed on detailing potential hybridisation between B. napus and its close relatives, although this discussion is limited to hybridisation events which do not require intervention through means such as embryo rescue (i.e. these events could possibly occur in nature, and could result in fertile offspring). This document was prepared by a lead country, Canada. It is based on material developed in OECD Member countries – for example, for risk assessments or for presentation at conferences and scientific meetings. It is intended for use by regulatory authorities and others who have responsibility for assessments of transgenic plants proposed for commercialisation, and by those who are actively involved in these plants’ design and development. The table in the Appendix showing potential interactions of B. napus with other life forms during its life cycle was developed with respect to Canada. As such, it is intended to serve as an example. Member countries are encouraged to develop tables showing interacting organisms specific to their own geographic regions and environments. 2. General Description and Use as a Crop Brassica napus L. is a member of the subtribe Brassicinae of the tribe Brassiceae of the Cruciferous (Brassicaceae) family, sometimes referred to as the mustard family. -

Isbell3 Published online: 2 July 2019 # This is a U.S. Government work and not under copyright protection in the US; foreign copyright protection may apply 2019 Abstract Brassicaceae oilseed crops can provide rotation benefits to dryland wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and supply feedstock for biofuel production. However, growers face decisions about what oilseed crop is best suited for an environment. The objective of this study was to determine how varying production environments affect the agronomic performance of modern cultivars of six Brassicaceae crop species and identify ideal genotypes for seven growing environments spanning four ecoregions. A field experiment was replicated in Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and Oregon, USA, between 2013 and 2016 to measure seed and oil yields of seed for four cultivars of Brassica napus,twoofB. carinata,twoofB. juncea,twoof Sinapis alba,oneofB. rapa, and one of Camelina sativa.Also,δ13C signature of seed was used as an indicator of water limitation. Generally, across all genotypes, seed and oil yields increased with increased growing season precipitation. Modern commercial cultivars of B. napus and B. juncea had the highest seed oil contents and generally produced the greatest oil yields across most environments, although they were not always the highest seed yielders. -

M.SC SEM II :MBOTCC 9, PRACTICAL( VIRTUAL LAB E –CONTENT ) FACULTY MEMBER : Dr Tanuja, University Department of Botany,Patliputra University Aim: Study and describe flowering plant of family Crucifeare(Brassicaceae) Principle: Taxonomy deals with identification, nomenclature and classification of organisms. Bentham and Hooker's system of classification is universally used for classification of plants. Field identification of plants is based primarily on morphological features particularly the floral characters. Requirement: Locally available plant specimen of cruciferae. Each specimen should have at least a small branch with a few inter nodes, leaves, flowers and fruits; glass slides, cover glass, water, 100 ml beakers, petridish, razor, blade, needles, brush, hand lens, dissecting microscope and compound microscope. Keep the twigs in beakers containing water. Make yourself familiar with the terms given to describe the habit of plant, its root system, stem and leaf, inflorescence and flowers. Describe the vegetative and floral features of the plant in the same sequence using terms described therein. Observe the flower bud under dissection microscope or a hand lens and note the aestivation patterns of calyx and corolla, number of sepals and petals (tri, tetra, pentamerous), number of stamens. Cut LS of the flower, place it on a slide and observe under the dissecting microscope to study: •• • • • Position (attachment) of stamens – opposite/alternate to petals; free or epipetalous; extrorse/ introrse anthers (anther lobes in the bud face away from axis – extrorse; anther lobes in the bud face towards the main axis – introrse). • • •• • Number of carpels (mono, bi, tri- carpellary); Position of the ovary (epigynous, perigynous, hypogynous). Mount a stamen on a slide and study the attachment of filament to anther (basifixed, dorsifixed, versatile, adnate), dehiscence pattern of anther (porous, longitudinal), number of anther lobes (monothecous, dithecous).
