Identification of Candidate Genes Regulating the Seed Coat Color Trait in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Using an Integrated Approach of QTL Mapping and Transcriptome Analysis

Seed coat color is an important seed quality trait in sesame. However, the genetic mechanism of seed coat color variation remains elusive in sesame. We conducted a QTL mapping of the seed coat color trait in sesame using an F2 mapping population. With the aid of the newly constructed superdense gene...
