摘要:
The present invention provides methods of marker assisted selection for higholeic/low linolenic traits in canola and in other oil seed crop species, aswell as isolated nucleic acids for use as molecular markers in such methods.In particular, molecular markers and Brassica nucleic acid corresponding tofad2 and fad3 gene mutations are disclosed. The markers of the presentinvention are highly useful for the direct selection of desirable fad2 andfad3 alleles during marker-assisted trait introgression and breeding. In a oneaspect of the embodiment, two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers areprovided which correspond to the alleles.Thus, the present inventionadvantageously permits one of skill in the art to breed for the molecularmarkers described herein, or derivatives thereof, rather than breeding for ahigh oleic/low linolenic phenotype.
