Genetic Dissection and Germplasm Selection of the Low Crude Fiber Component in <i>Brassica napus</i> L. Shoots

Background: <i>Brassica napus</i> is one of the most important oil crops in the world, and <i>B. napus</i> shoots are nutrient-rich fresh vegetables. The crude fiber (CF) component is one of the most important factors affecting the taste quality of <i>B. napus</i>...

description Background: <i>Brassica napus</i> is one of the most important oil crops in the world, and <i>B. napus</i> shoots are nutrient-rich fresh vegetables. The crude fiber (CF) component is one of the most important factors affecting the taste quality of <i>B. napus</i> shoots, but the factors underlying the desirable low-CF trait remain poorly understood. Methods: In this study, a high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) map was used to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for five CF-related traits in a recombinant inbred population. Results: A total of 49 QTLs were obtained in four environments, including eleven, twelve, eight, twelve and six QTLs for content of neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose, respectively. The phenotypic variation explained by single QTL ranged from 4.62% to 14.76%. Eight of these QTLs were further integrated into four unique QTLs, which controlled two different traits simultaneously. Five CF-component-related candidate genes were identified, among which <i>BnaC03g07110D</i> and <i>BnaC07g21271D</i> were considered to be the most likely candidate genes. In addition, five lines with low CF content were selected, which can be used as excellent germplasm resources in breeding. Conclusions: The QTLs identified in this study will contribute to our understanding of the genetic mechanism of CF and can be used as targets for reducing CF content in <i>B. napus</i> shoots. In addition, this study also provided excellent germplasm resources for low CF content breeding.
