Additional file 3 of Integrative GWAS and transcriptomic analyses identify candidate genes associated with oil content and fatty acid composition in safflower
The variation explained and the factor loadings for the three first principal components are shown. The values for traits with the highest factor loadings for a principal component are shown in bold.
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) is a diploid crop plant belonging to the family Asteraceae and is well known as one of important oilseed crops due to edible oil containing unsaturated fatty acids. In
