Identification of Rapeseed ( L.) Plant Height-Associated QTL Using BSA-seq and RNA-seq.

Plant height (PH) is a critical agronomic trait in , significantly impacting yield. Consequently, identifying genes associated with plant height is a pivotal objective in oilseed rape breeding. This study employed a combination of bulk segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) for analysis.

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the Gene Family in Rapeseed ( L.).

The gene family is present in plants and is involved in biological processes such as flowering, circadian rhythm regulation, plant growth and development, and stress resistance. We identified 87, 62, 46, and 40 at the whole-genome level in , , , and , respectively. The can be classified into five groups based on evolutionary relationships, and each of these groups can be further subdivided into three subfamilies (, and ) based on function.

Genome-Wide Analysis of the YABBY Transcription Factor Family in Rapeseed ( L.).

The YABBY family of plant-specific transcription factors play important regulatory roles during the development of leaves and floral organs, but their functions in species are incompletely understood. Here, we identified 79 genes from and five species (, , , , and ). A phylogenetic analysis of YABBY proteins separated them into five clusters (YAB1-YAB5) with representatives from all five species, suggesting a high degree of conservation and similar functions within each subfamily.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Phosphorus Transporter Genes in and Their Roles in Heavy Metal Stress Tolerance.

Phosphorus transporter () genes encode HPO/H co-transporters that absorb and transport inorganic nutrient elements required for plant development and growth and protect plants from heavy metal stress. However, little is known about the roles of in compared to . In this study, we identified and extensively analyzed 336 PHTs from three diploid ( and ) and two allotetraploid ( and ) species.
