Brassica napus Accessions with Different Expressions of Bnaupl3.C03 Differ in LEC2 Protein Content and Seed Size. In B. napus, accession Dimension with low BnaUPL3.C03 expression had higher LEC2 protein content (left) and bigger seed sizes (right) than the high-expression BnaUPL3.C03 accession Coriander. Adapted from Miller et al. (2019), Figure 6.
