Effects of atrazine concentrations (10−7 to 10−4 M) on the Hill reaction were evaluated using isolated chloroplasts from parentals, F1 and BC3 of triazine-resistant biotype of bird’s-rape (Brassica campestris) × B. napus ’Tower’ and bird’s-rape × B. campestris ’Torch’. Atrazine did not affect the Hill reaction of bird’s-rape, hybrids or BC3 with cytoplasm from the triazine-resistant bird’s-rape, but interfered with the Hill reaction in triazine-susceptible Tower and Torch.

Cadmium (Cd) pollution in soil is becoming increasingly serious due to anthropogenic activities, which not only poses a threat to the ecological environment, but also causes serious damage to human health via the biological chain. Consequently, special concerns should be paid to develop and combine multiple remediation strategies. In this study, different subspecies of oilseed rape, Brassica campestris, Brassica napus and Brassica juncea were applied, combined with three organic acids, acetic acid, oxalic acid and citric acid, in a simulated Cd-contaminated soil. Various physiological and biochemical indexes were monitored in both plant seedling, growth period and mature stage. The results showed that organic acids significantly promoted the growth of Brassica campestris and Brassica juncea under Cd stress. The photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme activities in Brassica campestris and Brassica juncea were induced at seedling stage, while that in Brassica napus were suppressed and disturbed. The enrichment of Cd in oilseed rape was also obviously increased. Brassica juncea contained relatively high resistance and Cd content in plant but little Cd in seed. Among the three acids, oxalic acids exhibited the most efficient promoting effect on the accumulation of Cd by oilseed rape. Here, a comprehensive study on the combined effects of oilseed rape and organic acids on Cd contaminated soil showed that Brassica juncea and oxalic acid possessed the best effect on phytoremediation of Cd contaminated soil. Our study provides an optimal way of co-utilizing oilseed rape and organic acid in phytoremediation of Cd contaminated soil.

Endophytic bacteria hold tremendous potential for use as biocontrol agents. Our study aimed to investigate the biocontrol activity of Pseudomonas fluorescens BRZ63, a new endophyte of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) against Rhizoctonia solani W70, Colletotrichum dematium K, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum K2291, and Fusarium avenaceum. In addition, features crucial for biocontrol, plant growth promotion, and colonization were assessed and linked with the genome sequences. The in vitro tests showed that BRZ63 significantly inhibited the mycelium growth of all tested pathogens and stimulated germination and growth of oilseed rape seedlings treated with fungal pathogens. The BRZ63 strain can benefit plants by producing biosurfactants, siderophores, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, and ammonia as well as phosphate solubilization. The abilities of exopolysaccharide production, autoaggregation, and biofilm formation additionally underline its potential to plant colonization and hence biocontrol. The effective colonization properties of the BRZ63 strain were confirmed by microscopy observations of EGFP-expressing cells colonizing the root surface and epidermal cells of Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0. Genome mining identified many genes related to the biocontrol process, such as transporters, siderophores, and other secondary metabolites. All analyses revealed that the BRZ63 strain is an excellent endophytic candidate for biocontrol of various plant pathogens and plant growth promotion.
