Quantitative trait locus mapping for carbon isotope ratio and root pulling force in canola

Abstract Carbon isotope ratio (δ13C) and root pulling force (RPF) are associated with dehydration avoidance in plants. The δ13C measures the efficiency of C gain relative to water loss, whereas RPF, the vertical force required to pull plants from the ground, indirectly estimates root‐related dehydra...
