  • FINE MAPPING AND VALIDATION OF QTL UNDERLYING FIBER CONTENT AND SEED COAT COLOR TRAITS AND IDENTIFICATION OF SNP MARKERS FOR MARKER ASSISTED SELECTION OF THESE TRAITS DERIVED FROM YELLOW SEED COAT (YSC) CANOLA LINE YN01-429 AND ITS LINEAGE
    Publication number: 20170332593
    Abstract: A method for identifying a quantitative trait locus associated with desirable nutritional traits in canola includes: analyzing a population of canola plants or germplasm for desirable nutritional traits; determining the genotype of the canola plants or germplasm using at least one marker selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1 through SEQ ID NO:111; mapping the canola plants or germplasm for the presence of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with the markers; and associating the QTL with the desirable nutritional trait. An isolated and/or recombinant nucleic acid includes a sequence associated with a quantitative trait locus (QTL), wherein the QTL is associated with a desirable nutritional trait in a canola plant or germplasm and wherein the QTL is further associated with at least one marker selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1 through SEQ ID NO:111.
