Summary Statement

BnMYB615 activates CAT3 and represses COL2, reciprocally regulating drought tolerance and flowering time in rapeseed. Under normal conditions, BnMYB615 maintains a relatively high expression level, sustaining basal ROS scavenging. Under drought, its down‐regulation promotes early flowering to facilitate stress escape.
