A 2.833-kb Insertion in BnFLC.A2 and Its Homeologous Exchange with BnFLC.C2 during Breeding Selection Generated Early-Flowering Rapeseed

Dear Editor, Rapeseed (Brassica napus) was formed on the Mediterranean coast approximately 7500 years ago (Chalhoub et al., 2014). Natural variations and artificial selections in flowering time have greatly promoted its spread to subtropical and temperate regions, making B. napus a major source of b...

Zusammenfassung:Dear Editor, Rapeseed (Brassica napus) was formed on the Mediterranean coast approximately 7500 years ago (Chalhoub et al., 2014). Natural variations and artificial selections in flowering time have greatly promoted its spread to subtropical and temperate regions, making B. napus a major source of both vegetable oil and animal feed worldwide. Many studies have been conducted over the past two decades toward understanding the genetic architecture of flowering time in B. napus. However, largely restricted by the complicated allotetraploid genome, molecular basis of flowering time variation remains poorly understood in rapeseed.
