QTL for yield traits and their association with functional genes in response to phosphorus deficiency in Brassica napus.

BACKGROUND: Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is one of the most important oil crops. A primary limitation to the cultivation of this crop is the lack of available phosphorus (P) in soils. To elucidate the genetic control of P deficiency tolerance in Brassica napus, quantitative trait locus (QTL) for...
