Abstract: 【Objective】The expression of CONSTANS(CO) homologous genes in B. napus was characterized. 【Method】Materials D626-6 and D125-5 with different growth periods were used to characterize the expression level of CO gene. A pair of specific primers was designed based on Bn1CON19 cDNA sequence, and a pair of Real-time fluorescence quantitative specific primers was designed according to the obtained cDNA sequence. The Real-time fluorescence quantitative analysis was conducted by using SYBR Green I dye method.【Result】 The results showed that the highest expression levels were appeared in the leaves of B. napus L., followed by the buds and stems. The expression levels in the morning and the evening were higher than those at noon. At different growth stages, the highest expression levels were appeared at bolting stage. The early-maturing material had a significantly higher express level than the late-maturing material in leaves and buds at bolting stage. 【Conclusion】 Result of the study indicated that the CO gene might play an important role in growth period and flower formation process in B. napus L..
