by using a genetic linkage map constructed by restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD seq) technology. A total of eight, 14 and three QTLs were identified for SDMI, SNMI and MIL under three environments, respectively, with an overlap among SDMI and SNMI in 55.7-75.4 cm on linkage group C06 which corresponding to 11.6-27.3 Mb on chromosome C06. Genomic resequencing was further conducted between a high- and a low-SDMI pool constructed from the DH population, and QTL-seq analysis identified a 0.15 Mb interval (25.98-26.13 Mb) from the C06-QTL region aforementioned. Transcriptome sequencing and qRT-PCR identified one possible candidate gene (BnARGOS) from the 0.15 Mb interval. This study will provide novel insights into the genetic basis of SD in rapeseed.
