  1. 1. Secrets of the Seeds : exploring the relationship between seed morphology and seed quality in Lepidium campestre, a novel oil crop for Northern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Ludvig Pettersson Landgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Lepidium campestre; field cress; oil crop; plant breeding; domestication; seed morphology; seed colour; seed analysis; Northern Sweden; glucosinolate;

    Abstract : This study set out to explore relationships between seed morphology and qualitative traits in field cress, Lepidium campestre, with the goal of assisting the breeding process of this crop under domestication. A collection of seeds of L. campestre as well as related species was analysed for weight and size using a MARViN seed analyser. READ MORE

  3. 2. Knockout of transcription factor MYB28 by CRISPR/Cas9 for reducing glucosinolate content in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Anusha Harshani Bogahawatta; [2023]
    Keywords : CRISPR Cas9; Glucosinolates; ; MYB28; protoplast; ; rapeseed; ; ribonucleoprotein; ; transcription factor;

    Abstract : Rapeseed cake is a protein-rich by-product from the rapeseed oil extraction process. It contains high levels of glucosinolates (GSLs), which possess anti-nutritional functions after being hydrolyzed. Moreover, the hydrolyzed products of GSLs produce an extremely bitter taste.

  4. 3. Identifying molecular markers for breeding a future oil crop, Lepidium campestre

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Noomi Lodenius; [2023]
    Keywords : glucosinolate content; interspecific hybridization; Lepidium campestre; marker discovery; oil content; oil quality;

    Abstract : The cold hardy novel oil- and cover crop Lepidium campestre is currently being domesticated as a potential oil crop for the Nordic region. To achieve this objective, multiple traits have previously been identified as desirable to improve, including seed oil content and composition, and glucosinolate (GL) content. READ MORE
