Background Brassica rapa is one of the most economically important vegetable crops
worldwide. Owing to its agronomic importance and phylogenetic position, B. rapa provides a …

Brassica rapa, which is closely related to Arabidopsis thaliana, is an important crop and a
model plant for studying genome evolution via polyploidization. We report the current …

Background Despite the prevalence and recurrence of polyploidization in the speciation of
flowering plants, its impacts on crop intraspecific genome diversification are largely …

Abstract Background The species Brassica rapa includes important vegetable and oil crops.
It also serves as an excellent model system to study polyploidy-related genome evolution …

The completion and release of the Brassica rapa genome is of great benefit to researchers
of the Brassicas, Arabidopsis, and genome evolution. While its lineage is closely related to …

Whole genome duplication (WGD) and tandem duplication (TD) are both important modes of
gene expansion. However, how WGD influences tandemly duplicated genes is not well …

We report the annotation and analysis of the draft genome sequence of Brassica rapa
accession Chiifu-401-42, a Chinese cabbage. We modeled 41,174 protein coding genes in …

The genus Brassica belongs to the plant family Brassicaceae, which includes many
important crop species that are used as oilseed, condiments, or vegetables throughout the …

Background Brassica rapa is an economically important crop species. During its long
breeding history, a large number of morphotypes have been generated, including leafy …

Traditionally, reference genomes in crop species rely on the assembly of one accession,
thus occulting most of intraspecific diversity. However, rearrangements, gene duplications …
