Figure 4From: Identification of candidate genes of QTLs for seed weight in Brassica napus through comparative mapping among Arabidopsis and BrassicaspeciesCloning of the BnAP2 gene with the aid of the comparative map. A) Localization of the BnAP2 gene and its allele-specific marker on LG A1. The red arrow on the left panel marks the AP2 position as predicted in conserved block U. The right panel is a reconstructed LG A1 with the BnAP2 allele-specific marker. B) PCR products amplified from the parental lines and their F1. The PCR products are separated by electrophoresis in 1.0% agarose gels and stained with ethidium bromide. C) Sequence difference of the BnAP2 gene sequences between the two parental lines. There is a 290bp insertion in SW Hickory.Back to article page
