Abstract excerpt
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) serves as a cornerstone of global vegetable oil production, yet its genetic improvement has historically been impeded by a complex allopolyploid genome. This review synthesizes the transformative evolution of rapeseed genomics, traversing from initial fragmented references to the modern era of gap-free Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) assemblies and graph-based pan-genomes. We highlight...
