Abstract Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by the necrotrophic fungus sclerotiorum , is one of most devastating diseases for several major oil-producing crops. Despite its impact, genetic basis SSR resistance in plants remains poorly understood. Here, through a genome-wide association study, we identify key gene, BnaA07. MKK9 that encodes mitogen-activated protein kinase confers oilseed rape. Our functional analyses reveal BnaA07.MKK9 interacts with BnaC03.MPK3 and BnaC03.MPK6...
Knocking out two functionally redundant aldehyde dehydrogenase-encoding genes via gene editing leads to 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline accumulation in oilseed rape, which can be used develop fragrant lines.
