Mapping QTLs for oil traits and eQTLs for oleosin genes in jatropha
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The major fatty acids in seed oil of jatropha, a biofuel crop, are palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1) and linoleic acid (C18:2). High oleic acid and total oil content are desirable for jatropha breeding....
