Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) enzymes in rapeseed (Brassica napus), which are important for plant growth and stress responses by converting carotenoids into apo-carotenoids.
- Researchers identified and classified 30 BnCCD genes into nine subgroups, analyzing their chromosomal locations, gene structures, and expression patterns across different tissues.
- The findings provide a basis for future research on the function of the BnCCD gene family, including their roles in plant physiology.
Oilseed rape ( L.) is the second highest yielding oil crop worldwide. In addition to being used as an edible oil and a feed for livestock, rapeseed has high ornamental value.

However, the presence of glucosinolates in rapeseed reduces the value of the meal as feed for livestock. We performed association mapping of seed glucosinolate (GS) content using the 60K Brassica Infinium single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array in 520 oilseed rape accessions.
