3D genome structural variations play important roles in regulating seed oil content of Brassica napus.

ABSTRACT: Dissecting the complex regulatory mechanism of seed oil content (SOC) is one of the main research goals in Brassica napus. Increasing evidence suggests that genome architecture is linked to multiple biological functions. However, the effect of genome architecture on SOC regulation remains unclear. Here, we used high-throughput chromatin conformation capture to characterize differences in the three-dimensional (3D) landscape of genome architecture of seeds from two B. napus lines, N53-2 (with high SOC) and Ken-C8 (with low SOC). Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that differentially accessible regions and differentially expressed genes between N53-2 and Ken-C8 were preferentially enriched in regions with quantitative trait loci (QTLs)/associated genomic regions (AGRs) for SOC.
