Abstract excerpt
Association mapping has been used increasingly in natural populations with rich genetic diversity to detect DNA-based markers that are associated with important agronomic traits. Brassica napus is an important oil crop with limited genetic diversity. "New-type" B. napus that is introgressed with subgenomic components from related species has been developed to broaden the genetic basis of "traditional" B. napus....
