Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: By genome-wide association study, QTLs for salt tolerance in rapeseed were detected, and a TSN1 ortholog was identified as a candidate gene responsible for genetic variation in cultivars. Dissecting the genomic regions governing abiotic stress tolerance is necessary for marker-assisted breeding to produce elite breeding lines. In this study, a world-wide collection of rapeseed was evaluated for...
