Abstract
The oil content of rapeseed influences yield, and the composition of that oil determines the purposes to which it may be put. We are taking a comparative QTL approach to understand the genetic control of seed oil accumulation in oilseed rape. This involves combining genetic and genomic information with precise phenotyping of seed composition traits in both oilseed rape (Brassica napus) and Arabidopsis thaliana. The work exploits Recombinant Inbred populations of A. thaliana and Doubled Haploid mapping populations of oilseed rape, and provides a platform for associated uplift activities.
