Abstract:Yellow horn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge) is a woody oilseed tree species whose seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and rare neuronic acids, which can be used as a high-grade edible oil or as a feedstock for biodiesel production. However, the genetic mechanisms related to seed yield in yellow horn are not well elucidated. This study identified 2,164,863 SNP loci based on 222 genome-wide resequencing data of yellow horn germplasm. We conducted genome-wide association study analysis on three core trait… Show more
