Abstract

Cuticular waxes play important roles in plant protection against various biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. The cuticular wax covering gives normal cabbage a glaucous appearance, but the appearance of waxless mutant is glossy green. Based on the present study, inheritance of the glossy green character of mutant HUAYOU2 follows a simple recessive pattern. Genetic analysis of an F2 population comprising 808 recessive individuals derived from HUAYOU2 (P1, maternal parent) and M36 (P2, paternal parent) revealed that a single recessive locus, BoWax1 (Brassica oleracea Wax 1), controls glossy green trait in B. oleracea. This locus was mapped to a region of 158.5 kb on chromosome C01. Based on nucleotide sequence analysis, Bol013612 was identified as the candidate gene for BoWax1. Sequencing results demonstrated that there is a deletion mutation of two nucleotides in the cDNA of Bol013612 of HUAYOU2, which may account for its glossy green trait. These results lay the foundation for functional analysis of BoWax1 and may accelerate research on wax metabolism in cabbage.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 June 2018.
All research outputs
#17,953,455
of 23,054,359 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#12,263
of 20,631 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#236,134
of 325,395 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#297
of 432 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,054,359 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,631 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 325,395 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 432 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
