Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) caused by the necrotrophic fungus sclerotiorum is a major disease in rapeseed (Brassica napus) worldwide. Breeding for SSR resistance B. napus, as other crops, relies only on germplasms with quantitative genes. A better understanding of genetic basis napus thus holds promise improvement resistance.

Abstract Crossovers create genetic diversity and are required for equal chromosome segregation during meiosis. Crossover number distribution highly regulated by different mechanisms that not yet fully understood, including crossover interference. The axis is crucial formation. Here, we explore the function of protein ASYNAPSIS3. To this end, use allotetraploid species Brassica napus; due to its polyploid nature, system allows a fine-grained dissection dosage meiotic regulators. simultaneous...

Summary Grain size is a crucial agronomic trait that affects stable yield, appearance, milling quality, and domestication in rice. However, the molecular genetic relationships among QTL genes (QTGs) underlying natural variation for grain remain elusive. Here, we identified novel QTG SGW5 ( suppressor of gw5 ) by map‐based cloning using an F 2 segregation population fixing same genotype master GW5 . positively regulates width influencing cell division spikelet hulls. Two nearly isogenic lines...

The biosynthesis of the tocotrienol and tocopherol forms vitamin E is initiated by prenylation homogentisate. Geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGDP) prenyl donor for synthesis, whereas phytyl (PDP) synthesis. We have previously shown that synthesis in monocot seeds homogentisate geranylgeranyl transferase (HGGT). This enzyme related to phytyltransferase (HPT), which catalyzes step Here we show HGGT localized plastid expressed primarily seed endosperm. Despite close structural relationship HPT,...

Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot disease Brassica crops, is widespread in world. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for partial resistance to 4 different isolates P. brassicae (Pb2, Pb4, Pb7, and Pb10) were investigated using a BC1F1 population from cross between two subspecies rapa, i.e. Chinese cabbage inbred line C59-1 as susceptible recurrent parent turnip ECD04 resistant donor parent. The BC1F2 families assessed under controlled conditions. A linkage map constructed...

A comprehensive linkage atlas for seed yield in rapeseed. Most agronomic traits of interest crop improvement (including yield) are highly complex quantitative controlled by numerous genetic loci, which brings challenges comprehensively capturing associated markers/genes. We propose that multiple trait interactions underlie such as yield, and considering these component their can dissect individual loci (QTL) effects more effectively improve predictions. Using a segregating rapeseed (Brassica...

Abstract Phytyl diphosphate (PDP) is the prenyl precursor for tocopherol biosynthesis. Based on recent genetic evidence, PDP supplied to biosynthetic pathway primarily by chlorophyll degradation and sequential phytol phosphorylation. Three enzymes of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) are known be capable removing chain from in vitro: chlorophyllase1 (CLH1), CLH2, pheophytin pheophorbide hydrolase (PPH), which specifically hydrolyzes pheophytin. While PPH, but not chlorophyllases, required...
