Stomatal morphological variation contributes to global ecological adaptation and diversification of Brassica napus.

Stomatal density and guard cell length of 274 global core germplasms of rapeseed reveal that the stomatal morphological variation contributes to global ecological adaptation and diversification of Brassica napus. Stomata are microscopic structures of plants for the regulation of CO assimilation and transpiration. Stomatal morphology has changed substantially in the adaptation to the external environment during land plant evolution.

Genome-wide identification, phylogenetic and expression pattern analysis of GATA family genes in Brassica napus.

Background: Transcription factors GATAs are involved in plant developmental processes and respond to environmental stresses through binding DNA regulatory regions to regulate their downstream genes. However, little information on the GATA genes in Brassica napus is available. The release of the reference genome of B.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of SnRK family genes in Brassica napus.

Background: Sucrose non-fermenting 1 related protein kinases (SnRK) play crucial roles in responding to biotic and abiotic stresses through activating protein phosphorylation pathways. However, little information of SnRK genes was available in Brassica napus, one of important oil crops. Recently, the released sequences of the reference genome of B.
