Abstract

Seed oil is synthesized in the embryo, which is surrounded by the seed coat. However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms of how seed coat development affects seed oil content (SOC) remains less studied. Through genome-wide association studies in Brassica napus accessions, we identify BnaA09.MYB52 transcription factor as a candidate gene underlying ZS11_qSCC.A09. Knocking out BnaMYB52 results in a 7.7%-8.2% reduction in seed coat content (SCC) but a 12.3%-13.4% increase in SOC, whereas overexpression of BnaA09.MYB52 leads to the opposite effects. Intriguingly, BnaA09.MYB52 has predominant expression in seed coat during seed development. BnaA09.MYB52 activates the expression of PMEI14 and BAN. Mutant analyses indicate that the SOC is increased by 4.3%-7.7%, while seed coat thickness shows a 12.9%-22.8% reduction in the ban and pmei14 mutants. Thus, our findings identify the molecular mechanism of MYB52-BAN/PMEI14 modules regulating SCC and SOC and provide a potential target for oil content improvement in B. napus.

期刊介绍： Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted. The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership. The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
