Seed oil content (SOC) is a highly important and complex trait in oil crops. Here, we decipher the genetic basis of natural variation in SOC of Brassica napus by genome- and transcriptome-wide association studies using 505 inbred lines. We mapped reliable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that control...
