The mechanism of white flower formation in Brassica rapa is distinct from that in other Brassica species
A single nucleotide (G) deletion in the third exon of BraA02.PES2-2 (Bra032957) leads to the conversion of flower color from yellow to white in B. rapa, and knockout mutants of its orthologous genes in B. napus s...
