Identifying and dissecting novel QTL regulating seed fatty acid composition in Arabidopsis thaliana for the improvement of rapeseed oil

Genes encoding desaturases in the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biochemical pathway have been identified by mutation analyses and utilized in oilseed rape (Brassica napus) breeding programs. However the regulation mechanisms of these genes are as yet unknown and pursued by the oil industry for f...
