摘要Brassica napus,commonly known as rapeseed or canola,is a major oil crop contributing over 13％to the stable supply of edible vegetable oil worldwide.Identification and understanding the gene functions in the B.napus genome is crucial for genomic breeding.A group of genes controlling agronomic traits have been successfully cloned through func-tional genomics studies in B.napus.In this review,we present an overview of the progress made in the functional genomics of B.napus,including the availability of germplasm resources,omics data-bases and cloned functional genes.Based on the current progress,we also highlight the main chal-lenges and perspectives in this field.The advances in the functional genomics of B.napus contribute to a better understanding of the genetic basis under-lying the complex agronomic traits in B.napus and will expedite the breeding of high quality,high re-sistance and high yield in B.napus varieties.
