Research progress and breeding application of functional genomics in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)
Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) was one of the major sources for edible vegetable oil in China,which also has various uses for feeding,adoption,honey,sightseeing,soil improvement and industry. With rapid develop-ment and wide application of new techniques in genome sequencing,genotyping,and phenotyping,major achieve-ments in functional genomics have been achieved in B. napus in recent years,including identification and cloning of genes related to agronomically important traits. Here we summarized the research progress of rapeseed functional ge-nomics,listed the key genes and their functions controling agronomically traits such as seed yield,seed quality,flowering time,plant architecture and resistance to biotic and abiotic factors,and discussed the application potential and strategies of these key genes in breeding by molecular design in B. napus. This review might provide a valuable reference for cultivating excellent rapeseed cultivars and would be of great significance to ensuring the safety of oil supply in terms to key germplasms in China.
