Identification of Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) Plant Height-Associated QTL Using BSA-seq and RNA-seq.

ABSTRACT: Plant height (PH) is a critical agronomic trait in Brassica napus, significantly impacting yield. Consequently, identifying genes associated with plant height is a pivotal objective in oilseed rape breeding. This study employed a combination of bulk segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) for analysis. A novel quantitative trait locus (QTL), qPH_C02, was identified between 63,989,634 and 64,945,122 bp on chromosome C02, from which eight candidate genes were screened. The Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed enrichment in peroxisomes, while the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated enrichment in the oxidative phosphorylation (OP) pathway. It is hypothesized that the observed differences in plant height and silique length
