Identification of candidate genes of QTLs for seed weight in <it>Brassica napus</it> through comparative mapping among <it>Arabidopsis</it> and <it>Brassica</it> species

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Map-based cloning of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in polyploidy crop species remains a challenge due to the complexity of their genome structures. QTLs for seed weight in <it>B. napus</it> have been identified, but info...
