- Flowering time is crucial for canola breeding as it helps reduce heat stress and better utilize soil moisture, involving the internal circadian clock of plants.
- The study used canola varieties 'Westar' and 'Surpass 400' to create a chromosome segment substitution line (CSSL) that contained a segment delaying flowering significantly compared to 'Westar.'
- Four introgression lines (ILs) showed delayed flowering, indicating partial dominance in flowering time traits, and the flowering time locus was mapped to a 1 Mb region on chromosome A10.
