Genetic variation of seed oil characteristics in native Korean germplasm of Perilla crop (Perilla frutescens L.) using SSR markers

Association mapping analysis for cultivated and weedy types of Perilla crop collected from South Korea using morphological characteristics and SSR markers

“…Finally, AMA was carried out with TASSEL 3.0 software [ 32 ], employing a general linear model (Q GLM) to assess marker-trait associations (MTAs). The Q GLM method utilized in this study is consistent with the approach detailed in a prior report by Park et al [ 9 ].…”

“…CF is widely cultivated in South Korea, serving both as a seed oil crop and a leafy vegetable crop. In particular in South Korea, as the consumption of fresh leaves and seed oil has been increasing, the cultivation area of CF has also greatly increased [ 8 , 9 ]. Meanwhile CC is not actively cultivated in South Korea due to a decline in its utilization as an herbal medicine, and it is frequently encountered in the form of a relict [ 4 , 5 ].…”

“…Perilla crop has attracted attention worldwide in recent years as a cash crop for uses including as food oil, vegetable, health functional food, and herbal medicine plant [ [8] , [10] ]. In particular, the seeds of CF are a good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, encompassing both linoleic acid and linolenic acid [ 8 , 9 , 11 ]. Furthermore, the Perilla leaves of the TCWTPC have a difference in color, green for CF ( Fig.…”

“…frutescens (WF) and weedy var. crispa (WC), are frequently encountered in South Korea, often being observed in areas like wastelands, around farmers' houses, and within farmers’ fields [ 4 , 9 , [12] , [13] , [14] ]. In addition, many plant taxonomists have conducted research to differentiate between and within accessions of the TCWTPC.…”
