Unraveling the Genetic Basis of Seed Tocopherol Content and Composition in Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

Abstract

This joint QTL, candidate gene, and association mapping study sheds light on the genetic basis of seed tocopherol biosynthesis in rapeseed. The sequences presented here may be used for marker-assisted selection of oilseed rape lines with superior tocopherol content and composition.
