Article Synopsis
  • - The study focused on Castor (Ricinus communis L.), an essential industrial crop, analyzing the genetic factors affecting seed size and weight through QTL (Quantitative Trait Locus) mapping in various populations derived from two distinct parent accessions.
  • - Two novel QTL clusters were identified, resulting in the detection of 44 and 30 QTLs related to seed size and weight, with significant variation in their phenotypic expression, providing insights into their genetic regulation.
  • - Six candidate genes were discovered within these QTL clusters, showing differential expression in seed tissues, suggesting their potential role in influencing seed traits in Castor plants.
