Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: Additive effects of three candidate genes-SAMBA, NAC TF25, and ARF18-significantly influenced seed weight in Brassica juncea, collectively accounting for 35.79% of the trait variation. Seed weight is a major determinant of seed yield in Brassica juncea, yet its inheritance and underlying genes remain insufficiently understood. To address this, generation mean analysis (GMA) was conducted using...
