Identification of Candidate Genes for Calcium and Magnesium Accumulation in Brassica napus L. by Association Genetics

Identification of Candidate Genes for Calcium and Magnesium Accumulation in Brassica napus L. by Association Genetics

Calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) are essential plant nutrients and vital for human and animal nutrition. Biofortification of crops has previously been suggested to alleviate widespread human Ca and Mg deficiencies. In this study, new candidate genes influencing the leaf accumulation of Ca and Mg were...
