An alternative splicing caused by a natural variation in BnaC02.VTE4 gene affects vitamin E and glucosinolate content in rapeseed ( Brassica napus L.)

Abstract excerpt

Summary Vitamin E (VE) is essential for plants and animals. Rapeseed oil is rich in α‐tocopherol (α‐T), which is the most bioactive form of VE in human body. This study demonstrated that VE in rapeseed seeds was mainly controlled by embryo genotype through incomplete diallel hybridization. By genome‐wide association study, the QTL‐qVE.C02 associated with VE and α‐T contents was detected in a Brassica napus...
