Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: We characterized a publicly available double-haploid B. oleracea biparental mapping population [BolTBDH; {Chinese kale x broccoli}; N=175] segregating for 25 traits of horticultural interest by applying genotype-by-sequencing, QTL identification, and candidate gene analyses. We identified physical locations of 51 single and 31 epistatic QTL and their candidate genes within six trait classes: architecture , biomass , bud morphology , leaf morphology , head quality , and phenology . Additionally, we generated high quality genome-wide SNPs and compared parallel QTL mapping outcomes using three reference genomes: single organism, pangenome, and long-read/optical mapping assemblies.
