Genome-wide association study reveals a patatin-like lipase relating to the reduction of seed oil content in Brassica napus

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is an important oil crop world-widely cultivated, and seed oil content (SOC) is one of the most important traits for rapeseed. To increase SOC, many efforts for promoting the function of genes on lipid biosynthesis pathway have been previously made.
