- Abstract
This article is an editorial discussing genetic association studies in oil seeds. The authors explain that crop improvement traits in agriculture are genetically complex and regulated by polygenes. They discuss the use of Genome-Wide Association (GWA) mapping as an effective strategy for identifying natural allelic variations and associating them with agronomic traits such as yield and quality. The authors highlight specific studies on soybean, safflower, sesame, and yellow horn fruit that have used genetic mapping to uncover genomic regions associated with important traits. They emphasize the potential for combining mapping and functional genomic strategies to improve economically valuable traits in crop plants.
