A F1 microspore-derived DH population, previously used for the development of a rapeseed RFLP map, was analysed for the distribution of erucic acid and seed oil content. A clear three-class segregation for erucic acid content could be observed and the two erucic acid genes of rapeseed were mapped to two different linkage groups on the RFLP map. Although the parents of the segregating DH population showed no significant difference in seed oil content, in the DH population a transgressive segregation in oil content was observed. The segregation closely followed a normal distribution, characteristic of a quantitative trait. Using the program MAPMAKER/QTL, three QTLs for seed oil content could be mapped on three different linkage groups. The additive effects of these QTLs explain about 51% of the phenotypic variation observed for this trait in the DH population. Two of the QTLs for oil content showed a close association in location to the two erucic acid genes, indicating a direct effect of the erucic acid genes on oil content.
