Early allopolyploid evolution in the post-Neolithic Brassica napus oilseed genome

Boulos Chalhoub, +86 more
- 22 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: The polyploid genome of Brassica napus, which originated from a recent combination of two distinct genomes approximately 7500 years ago and gave rise to the crops of rape oilseed, is sequenced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accessing complex crop genomes with next-generation sequencing

TL;DR: This review describes next-generation sequencing and data analysis techniques that vastly improve the ability to dissect and mine genomes for causal genes underlying key traits and allelic variation of interest to breeders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Status and perspectives of breeding for enhanced yield and quality of oilseed crops for Europe.

TL;DR: A general overview of the status of oilseed production in Europe is provided and examples from winter oilseed rape are used to illustrate key breeding aims for sustainable and high-yielding production of high-quality vegetable oil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular markers in Brassica oilseed breeding: current status and future possibilities

TL;DR: The current use of available genetic marker technologies in oilseed rape breeding is described and an outlook for use of new technologies, including single-nucleotide polymorphism markers, candidate gene approaches and allele-trait association studies are provided.
