Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Critical genes underlying variations in photosynthetic pigments and productivity-related traits were identified. We also identified 88 zones of collinearity in the A-genomes of B. juncea and B. napus, which harboured the same photosynthetic genes. Chlorophylls and carotenoids are essential for photosynthesis, phenotypic plasticity, and environmental resilience in plants, but the natural variation of...
