A high-density genetic map identifies a novel major QTL for boron efficiency in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.).

Low boron (B) seriously limits the growth of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), a high B demand species that is sensitive to low B conditions. Significant genotypic variations in response to B deficiency have been observed among B. napus cultivars. To reveal the genetic basis for B efficiency in B. n...
