A candidate gene-based association study of tocopherol content and composition in rapeseed (Brassica napus)

A candidate gene-based association study of tocopherol content and composition in rapeseed (Brassica napus)

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is the most important oil crop of temperate climates. Rapeseed oil contains tocopherols, also known as vitamin E, which is an indispensable nutrient for humans and animals due to its antioxidant and radical scavenging abilities. Moreover, tocopherols are also important f...
