A rare dominant allele DYSOC1 determines seed coat color and improves seed oil content in Brassica napus. [PDF]
Yellow seed coat color (SCC) is a valuable trait in Brassica napus, which is significantly correlated to high seed oil content (SOC) and low seed lignocellulose content (SLC). However, no dominant yellow SCC genes were identified in B. napus.
