Abstract

Lodging continues to be a major cause of yield loss in important crop species such asBrassica napus.Understanding the genetic regulation of lodging resistance is therefore of key interest to breeders worldwide. Current strategies aimed at minimising lodging risk involve the incorporation of dwarfing genes or the application of plant growth regulators. However, despite these efforts, lodging continues to be a persistent problem and it is therefore of high interest that novel, complimentary strategies for lodging control are implemented. One approach would be to focus on understanding the genetic properties underlying stem mechanical strength. With this in mind, we screened a training genetic diversity panel ofB.napusaccession for variation in stem mechanical strength and related traits. Using Associative Transcriptomics, we identified molecular markers for a suite of valuable traits. Using an independent test genetic diversity panel, we show that the methods employed are robust for identification of predictive markers. Furthermore, based on conserved synteny withArabidopsis thaliana, we are able to provide a biological context to the marker associations detected and provide evidence for a role in pectin methylesterification in contributing to stem mechanical strength inBrassicaceae.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 March 2018.
All research outputs
#20,466,701
of 23,025,074 outputs
Outputs from Molecular Breeding
#480
of 545 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#292,724
of 331,231 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular Breeding
#6
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,025,074 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 545 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,231 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
