AB The oilseed species Thlaspi arvense (pennycress) is being domesticated as a new crop that can provide both important ecosystem services and intensify farmland output. Through the use of high throughput sequencing and phenotyping, along with classical mutagenesis key traits needed for pennycress domestication have been identified. Domestication traits identified herein include reduced pod shatter, early maturity, reduced seed glucosinolate levels, and improved oil fatty acid content. By taking advantage of pennycress’ close genetic relationship with Arabidopsis thaliana, the causative mutations responsible for each of these traits have been identified. These mutations have been used to develop molecular markers to begin to stack the traits into individual lines.
