Mapping of quantitative trait loci for the bolting trait in Brassica rapa under vernalizing conditions

Y. G. Wang, Zhang, L., Ji, X. H., Yan, J. F., Liu, Y. T., Lv, X. X., and Feng, H., Mapping of quantitative trait loci for the bolting trait in Brassica rapa under vernalizing conditions, vol. 13, pp. 3927-3939, 2014.

Premature bolting can occur occasionally during spring cultivation of heading Chinese cabbage in East Asia when the plants encounter low temperatures (vernalization), leading to economic loss. Breeding bolting-resistant cultivars is the best choice for solving this problem. We looked for QTLs responsible for varietal differences in the bolting trait in Brassica rapa under environmental conditions that promote vernalization.
