Cover Story: Brassica rapa shows significant flowering time variations. Here, we identified a nonsynonymous mutation in BrFLC1 (Pe1+58 (A/C)) related to flower time variations, and a linkage inheritance between this locus and a previously reported splicing site mutation (BrFLC1Pi6+1 (G/A)), forming two haplotypes (H1: AG and H2: CA) of BrFLC1. We demonstrated that the BrFLC1 haplotypes consisting of these two loci were associated with intraspecific diversification and have been under strong selection during B. rapa’s domestication. Moreover, BrFLC1Pe1+58 (A/C) and BrFLC1Pi6+1 (G/A) both relate to the flowering time, but each has an independent genetic effect. This work will help to improve pre-mature bolting resistance in B. rapa vegetables. View this paper
