Abstract:

Genetic loci for oil content, one of the most important traits of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), have been widely studied, however, comparisons were difficult to be carried out among studies due to different mapping populations and molecular marker systems. In the present study, a 60K Brassica SNP array was applied in the genome-wide association study (GWAS) using a natural rapeseed population which was comprised of 308 accessions and grown for four consecutive years to identify loci for seed oil content. An integration system was built by anchoring the present loci and previous loci that identified onto the rapeseed genome in other studies using ten segregation populations and two natural populations. A total of eight SNPs significantly associated with seed oil contents of rapeseed were detected in our study, explaining 3.22%-5.13% of the phenotypic variance each SNP. Combining the data from other 12 populations, 193 integrated loci were identified, spreading on all 19 chromosomes of B. napus with more loci distributed on A subgenome (13 loci/chromosome) than C subgenome (seven loci/chromosome). Seven integrated intervals from A subgenome (chromosome A01, A02, A03, A06, A08, A09, and A10) were identified in at least three populations, of which three were homologous to intervals on C subgenome, with 26 known genes associated with seed oil metabolism. The 193 loci were anchored to the reference genome of B. napus var. Darmor-Bzh, resulting in a visualized genome-wide integrated system for seed oil content loci. This study is helpful to determine the important seed oil content loci and to make the optimal breeding strategy to increase oil content in rapeseed.

Key words: Brassica napus, seed oil content, genome-wide association study, QTL, integrated system
