De novo allopolyploidization in Brassica provides a very successful model for reconstructing
polyploid genomes using progenitor species and relatives to broaden crop gene pools and …

Climate change will have major impacts on crop production: not just increasing drought and
heat stress, but also increasing insect and disease loads and the chance of extreme weather …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is an important oil-producing crop for the world. Its
adaptation, yield and quality have been considerably improved in recent decades, but the …

Seed oil content (SOC) is a highly important and complex trait in oil crops. Here, we
decipher the genetic basis of natural variation in SOC of Brassica napus by genome-and …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a model plant for polyploid crop research and the second‐
leading source of vegetable oil worldwide. Silique length (SL) and seed weight are two …

Yield is one of the most important agronomic traits for the breeding of rapeseed (Brassica
napus L), but its genetic dissection for the formation of high yield remains enigmatic, given …

Plant height (PH), branch initiation height (BIH), and stem diameter (SD) are three stem-
related traits that play crucial roles in plant architecture and lodging resistance. Herein, we …

Flowering and seed set are essential for plant species to survive, hence plants need to
adapt to highly variable environments to flower in the most favorable conditions …

Summary Brassica napus (AACC, 2n= 38) is an important oilseed crop grown worldwide.
However, little is known about the population evolution of this species, the genomic …

A major challenge of plant biology is to unravel the genetic basis of complex traits. We took
advantage of recent technical advances in high‐throughput phenotyping in conjunction with …
