The study reveals that the BrJMJ18 gene, encoding an H3K36me2/3 Jumonji demethylase, is a candidate gene for a QTL regulating thermotolerance in a thermotolerant Brassica rapa subspecies, and its allele (BrJMJ18Par) can modulate flowering time, plant growth, and chlorophyll biosynthesis in a temperature-dependent manner.
