Abstract:

Yellow-seeded rapeseed is popular with consumers because of the appearance and good quality of rapeseed oil.However,the unstable separation of progeny traits seriously affects its large-scale application.In order to analyze the internal reasons for the unstable separation of yellow-seeded rapeseed traits,the differences in the internal physiological mechanisms between yellow and black seeds in yellow-seeded rapeseed were explored.Yellow-seeded rapeseed(CK)was used as the material to study the differences in agronomic traits,physiological and biochemical indexes,and seed coat color-related genes between yellow(Y)and black(B)seed plants in the separation offspring.The results showed that the rhizome diameter and plant height of Y were larger than those of CK and B.The plant height of B was significantly different from that of CK and Y,respectively,and the rhizome diameter of B was significantly different from that of Y.The disease index of Y was 1.97,and the disease indexes of CK and B were 2.55 and 3.33,respectively,indicating that Y was superior to CK and B in disease resistance.The content of MDA in Y leaves was the lowest at 9—10 leaf stage,and the POD activity in Y and CK flowers continued to increase at flowering stage,indicating that yellow-seeded rape had strong stress resistance.The expression levels of TT18 and TT8 genes in B and Y at 7—8 leaf stage and 9—10 leaf stage were higher than those in CK,and the expression levels of TT18 gene in B and Y at final flowering stage were significantly lower than those in CK.At 28 days after pollination,the expression of MYB47 gene in Y seed was the highest,which was 5.56 times that of CK and 5.79 times that of B,respectively.The expression of TT8 gene was the highest in Y at 21 days after pollination,which was 3.30,2.29 times that of CK and B,respectively.It showed that yellow-seeded rapeseed had obvious advantages in oil content and stress resistance.Therefore,vigorous development of yellow-seeded rapeseed can provide new ideas for improving the supply of rapeseed oil and solving the safety of edible oil in China.
