A pentatricopeptide repeat protein restores fertility in Moricandia arvensis based cytoplasmic male sterility system in Brassica juncea.

An introgression from Moricandia arvensis is known to restore male fertility to Brassica juncea cytoplasmic male sterile lines carrying M. arvensis, Diplotaxis berthautii, D. catholica or D.

Comparative transcriptomics revealed differential regulation of defense related genes in Brassica juncea leading to successful and unsuccessful infestation by aphid species.

Productivity of Indian mustard (B. juncea), a major oil yielding crop in rapeseed-mustard group is heavily inflicted by mustard aphid, L. erysimi.

Lines with Substituted Chimeric GFP-CENH3 Give Haploid and Aneuploid Progenies on Crossing with Other Lines.

Haploids and doubled haploids are invaluable for basic genetic studies and in crop improvement. A novel method of haploid induction through genetic engineering of the Centromere Histone Protein gene, , has been demonstrated in Arabidopsis. The present study was undertaken to develop haploid inducer (HI) lines of based on the principles elaborated in Arabidopsis.
