Flower development and plant architecture determine the efficiency of mechanized harvest
and seed yield in Brassica napus. Although TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (AtTFL1) is a regulator of …

Abstract Background TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) is a member of
phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) family, which plays an important role in …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is grown in different geographical regions of the world. It is
adapted to different environments by modification of flowering time and requirement for cold …

Determinate inflorescences have a significant effect on the genetic improvement of
rapeseed, so understanding the molecular function underlying the inflorescence trait may be …

Background The determinate growth habits is beneficial for plant architecture modification
and the development of crops cultivars suited to mechanized production systems. Which …

Abstract Key message The BrrFT paralogues exhibit distinct expression patterns and play
different roles in regulating flowering time, and BrrFT4 competes with BrrFT1 and BrrFT2 to …

Natural structural variants of regulatory proteins causing quantitative phenotypic
consequences have not been reported in plants. Herein, we show that 28 natural structural …

Flowering time is an important agricultural trait of the oil crop Brassica juncea (B. juncea), as
accelerated flowering enables avoidance of terminal drought leading to increased yields …

Key message A candidate gene Bndm1 related to determinate inflorescence was mapped to
a 128-kb interval on C02 in Brassica napus. Abstract Brassica napus plants with determinate …
