QTL Landscape for Oil Content in : Analysis in Multiple Bi-Parental Populations in High and "0" Erucic Background.

Increasing oil content in oilseed mustard () is a major breeding objective-more so, in the lines that have "0" erucic acid content (< 2% of the seed oil) as earlier studies have shown negative pleiotropic effect of erucic acid loci on the oil content, both in oilseed mustard and rapeseed. We report here QTL analysis of oil content in eight different mapping populations involving seven different parents-including a high oil content line J8 (~49%). The parental lines of the mapping populations contained wide variation in oil content and erucic acid content.

Genetic dissection of seed weight by QTL analysis and detection of allelic variation in Indian and east European gene pool lines of Brassica juncea.

Seed weight QTL identified in different populations were synthesized into consensus QTL which were shown to harbor candidate genes by in silico mapping. Allelic variation inferred would be useful in breeding B. juncea lines with high seed weight.

Deciphering allelic variations for seed glucosinolate traits in oilseed mustard (Brassica juncea) using two bi-parental mapping populations.

QTL mapping by two DH mapping populations deciphered allelic variations for five different seed glucosinolate traits in B. juncea. Allelic variations for five different seed glucosinolate (GS) traits, namely % propyl, % butyl, % pentyl, aliphatics and total GS content were studied through QTL analysis using two doubled haploid (DH) mapping populations.
