Initiative Aims and Resources
Objectives
- To understand the genetic and physical organisation of the B. napus
genome and determine the DNA sequence of the B. napus
transcriptome.
- To establish genomic resources that accelerate the isolation and evaluation
of genes from Brassica and Arabidopsis.
- To elucidate the relationships between the Arabidopsis thaliana genome and
those of Brassica crop species.
- To study the effect of polyploidy and gene duplication on the genetic
control of agronomic traits in Brassica crops and to develop tools to
facilitate the genetic modification of such traits.
- To understand the genes controlling the quality and agronomic performance
of canola and other Brassica crops through the application of
functional genomics.
