Foreword
Brassica species including B. campestris, B. juncea, B. napus and B. carinata are an important group of oilseed crops, constituting almost 13.2 % of the world edible oil requirement. Together these occupy about 29.39 million hectares of area with an annual production of 53.01 million tons in the world. These have wide adaptability and are often grown under varied agroclimatic conditions throughout the world. During the last two decades, the area and production of these crops have increased substantially and the total production has almost trebled. Considerable potential exists for improving production and productivity of oilseed brassicas, as well as cruciferous vegetables through breeding improved varieties that are resistant to both biotic and abiotic stresses. Among biotic factors limiting the productivity, the diseases like Alternaria blight, white rust, downy mildew, Sclerotinia stem rot and powdery mildew are the serious one. Presentl
