Conservation and Divergence of the CONSTANS-Like (COL) Genes Related to Flowering and Circadian Rhythm in Brassica napus

The CONSTANS-LIKE (COL) genes are important signaling component in the photoperiod pathway and flowering regulation pathway. However, people still know little about their role in Brassica napus. To achieve a better understanding of the members of the BnaCOL gene family, reveal their evolutionary rel...

A total of 33 BnaCOL genes distributed unevenly on 16 chromosomes were identified in B. napus and could be classified into three subfamilies.
