"Multienvironment QTL analysis delineates a major locus associated with" by Harsh Raman, Rosy Raman et al.
Canola varieties exhibit variation in drought avoidance and drought escape traits, reflecting adaptation to water-deficit environments. Our understanding of underlying genes and their interaction across environments in improving crop productivity is limited. A doubled haploid population was analysed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with water-use efficiency (WUE) related traits. High WUE in the vegetative phase was associated with low seed yield. Based on the resequenced parental genome data, we developed sequence-capture-based markers and validated their linkage with carbo...
