Unravelling the Complex Interplay of Transcription Factors Orchestrating Seed Oil Content in Brassica napus L.

ABSTRACT: Transcription factors (TFs) and their complex interplay are essential for directing specific genetic programs, such as responses to environmental stresses, tissue development, or cell differentiation by regulating gene expression. Knowledge regarding TF-TF cooperations could be promising in gaining insight into the developmental switches between the cultivars of Brassica napus L., namely Zhongshuang11 (ZS11), a double-low accession with high-oil- content, and Zhongyou821 (ZY821), a double-high accession with low-oil-content. In this regard, we analysed a time series RNA-seq data set of seed tissue from both of the cultivars by mainly focusing on the monotonically expressed genes (MEGs). The consideration of the MEGs enables the capturing of multi-stage progression processes that are orches
