Exchangeable aluminum (Al) ions released from acidic soils with pH < 5.5 inhibit root elongation of crops, ultimately leading to yield reduced. It is necessary to identify the quantitative trait locus (QTLs) and candidate genes that confer toxicity resistance to understand the mechanism and improve tolerance of rapeseed.

Al stress affects the normal crop development and reduces the overall yield of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.).

Background And Objective: Imaging genetics has been widely used to help diagnose and treat mental illness, e.g., schizophrenia, by combining magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and genomic information for comprehensive and systematic analysis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLife cycle timing is critical for yield and productivity of Brassica napus (rapeseed) cultivars grown in different environments. To facilitate breeding for earliness traits in rapeseed, SNP loci and underlying candidate genes associated with the timing of initial flowering, maturity and final flowering, as well as flowering period (FP) were investigated in two environments in a diversity panel comprising 300 B. napus inbred lines.
