Clubroot disease is one of the major diseases affecting Brassicaceae crops, and a number
of these crops grown commercially, such as Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp …

Abstract Background The species Brassica rapa (2n= 20, AA) is an important vegetable and
oilseed crop, and serves as an excellent model for genomic and evolutionary research in …

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 …

Abstract Nucleotide-binding site (NBS)-encoding resistance genes are key plant disease-
resistance genes and are abundant in plant genomes, comprising up to 2% of all genes. The …

Investigating recombination of homoeologous chromosomes in allopolyploid species is
central to understanding plant breeding and evolution. However, examining chromosome …

For identification of genes responsible for varietal differences in flowering time and leaf
morphological traits, we constructed a linkage map of Brassica rapa DNA markers including …

Abstract In Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa), the clubroot resistance (CR) gene CRb is
effective against Plasmodiophora brassicae isolate No. 14, which is classified as pathotype …

Three linkage maps of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) were constructed from populations CDC
Bethune/Macbeth, E1747/Viking and SP2047/UGG5-5 containing between 385 and 469 …

Glucosinolates play important roles in plant defense against herbivores and microbes, as
well as in human nutrition. Some glucosinolate‐derived isothiocyanate and nitrile …
