A rich TILLING resource for studying gene function in Brassica rapa

Abstract

We have developed the first EMS TILLING resource in the diploid Brassica species, B. rapa. The mutation density in this population is approximately 1 per 60 kb, which makes it the most densely mutated diploid organism for which a TILLING population has been published. This resource is publicly available through the RevGenUK reverse genetics platform http://revgenuk.jic.ac.uk.
