Emerging science supports the role of lipid metabolism disorders in the occurrence and development of chronic diseases. Dietary intervention has been shown to be an effective strategy for regulating lipid metabolism. Recent studies showed that perilla is rich in various effective ingredients, including fatty acids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids.

- The study focuses on improving the oil quality of rapeseed, an important oil crop, by understanding the genetics behind seed oil content (SOC).
- Researchers analyzed a diverse group of rapeseed plants and created a high-density genetic map to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to SOC.
- Key findings included stable QTLs on chromosome A07 and candidate genes related to lipid and fatty acid metabolism, which can aid in breeding programs for better oil quality.
In Brassica napus, pod number and pod density are critical factors to determine seed yield. Although the pod density is an essential yield trait, the regulation of yield formation in oil crops, as well as the genetic and molecular mechanisms, are poorly understood. In this study, we characterized a rapeseed high-density pod mutant (dpt247) from composite hybridization.
