Dataset for the metabolic and physiological characterization of seeds from oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) plants grown under single or combined effects of drought and clubroot pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae.

ABSTRACT: Faced with the challenges of adapting agriculture to climate change, seed production should have increased resilience to abiotic stress factors and the expected proliferation of pathogens. This concerns both the nutritional quality and seed vigor, two crucial factors in seedling establishment and yield. Both qualities are acquired during seed development, but how environment influences the genetic and physiological determinisms of these qualities remains to be elucidated. With a world production of 71 Mt of seeds per year, oilseed rape (Brassica napus) is the third largest oleaginous crop. But its productivity must cope with several abiotic stresses, among which drought is one of the main constraints in current and future climate scenarios. In addition, clubroot disease, caused by t
