Functional Descriptions:

  • Natural variation and artificial selection at the BnaC2.MYB28 locus modulate Brassica napus seed.
  • Here, we experimentally validated that BnaC2.MYB28, encoding an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, is the causal gene of qGSL-C2.
  • BnaC2.MYB28 is a nucleus-localized protein mainly expressed in vegetative tissues.
  • BnaC2.MYB28 can directly activate the expression of GSL biosynthesis genes.
  • We confirmed that BnaC2.MYB28 is the underlying gene for qGSL-C2 and elucidated the molecular mechanism how the allelic variation in BnaC2.MYB28 differentially regulates SGC in rapeseed. These findings provide important clues for understanding the molecular regulation of SGC and manipulating BnaC2.MYB28 to cultivate low-GSL varieties in rapeseed.
