Multigenic control of pod shattering resistance in Chinese rapeseed germplasm revealed by genome-wide association and linkage analyses
Majority of rapeseed cultivars shatter seeds upon maturity especially under hot-dry and windy conditions, reducing yield and gross margin return to growers.Here, we identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) MAGNESIUM CTRATE for resistance to pod shatter in unstructured diverse panel of 143 rapeseed accessions, and two structured populations derived
