Genetic effects and genotype\u2009 7\u2009environment interactions govern seed oil content in Brassica napus L.

As seed oil content (OC) is a key measure of rapeseed quality, better understanding the genetic basis of OC would greatly facilitate the breeding of high-oil cultivars. Here, we investigated the components of genetic effects and genotype\u2009 7\u2009environment interactions (GE) that govern OC using a full diallel set of nine parents, which represented a wide range of the Chinese rapeseed cultivars and pure lines with various OCs.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
