Abstract excerpt
Predictable seedling establishment is essential for resource-efficient and cost-effective crop production; it is widely accepted as a critically important trait determining yield and profitability.

We used natural variation and fine mapping in the crop Brassica oleracea to show that allelic variation at three loci influence the key vigour...
