Genome-wide association study and transcriptome analysis dissect the genetic control of silique length in Brassica napus L.
Abstract Background Rapeseed is the third-largest oilseed crop after soybeans and palm that produces vegetable oil for human consumption and biofuel for industrial production. Silique length (SL) is an important trait that is strongly related to seed yield in rapeseed. Although many studies related...
