Novel quantitative trait loci from an interspecific <i>Brassica rapa</i> derivative improve pod shatter resistance in <i>Brassica napus</i>.

To investigate the major genetic determinants controlling rupture energy, we binned pod shatter variation scores into two discrete categories, resistant (1, rupture energy: 2.32 to 6.94 mJ) and susceptible (0, rupture energy: 7.0 to 17.76 mJ) phenotypes, in conjunction with the seven highly significant markers ( Supplementary Table S5A ) and performed haplotype analysis to determine trait-marker association.
