- Abstract
The seeds are generally much larger than wild seeds and are most likely to respond to selective pressure on yield, uniform germination, and seedling vitality exerted by humans during domestication. In particular, on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, we are able to clone various genes such as seed weight and size. Cloned genes responsible for seed-weight variation also control the number and size of cells in the integument, embryo, and endoderm, but mainly control cell division affecting the final weight/size of the seed. QTL mapping and cloning experiments carried out on rapeseed over the past decade have identified many seed weight QTLs, cloned some genes regulated the seed weight and dissected part of mechanism of the formation of seed weight in rapeseed. In this review, identifying main loci and cloning of some genes responsible for seed-weight variation in the Brassica genus from the prior studies is summarized to provide basic information on the cloning of the gene responsible for seed weight.'.
