Article Synopsis
- Rapeseed is a key source of plant oil, and silique length (SL) is a critical trait that affects its yield, controlled by multiple genes.
- Researchers mapped twenty-six quantitative trait loci (QTL) for SL across different environments, identifying eight consensus QTL including two major ones that account for significant variability in SL.
- By analyzing candidate genes and gene expression, they identified an ideal QTL combination (A02C06) that produced the longest silique length, which could enhance rapeseed breeding efforts.
Research on the flowering habit of rapeseed is important for the selection of varieties adapted to specific ecological environments. Here, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for the days-to-flowering trait were identified using a doubled haploid population of 178 lines derived from a cross between the winter type SGDH284 and the semi-winter type 158A. A linkage map encompassing 3268.
