Article Synopsis
- The radish exhibits significant variation in its physical traits, but the genetic basis for this diversity remains largely unexplored.
- Researchers studied 94 lines of radish created by crossing rat-tail and Japanese radish to identify genetic factors influencing eight morphological traits.
- An extensive genetic map was developed, revealing 18 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) over two years, which can aid in future genetic research and improve radish breeding strategies.
Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) belongs to Brassicaceae family and is a close relative of Brassica. This species shows a wide morphological diversity, and is an important vegetable especially in Asia.
