Polyploidization has provided much genetic variation for plant adaptive evolution, but the
mechanisms by which the molecular evolution of polyploid genomes establishes genetic …

Polyploidization has played a major role in crop plant evolution, leading to advantageous
traits that have been selected by humans. Here, we describe restructuring patterns in the …

The cultivated Brassica species include numerous vegetable and oil crops of global
importance. Three genomes (designated A, B and C) share mesohexapolyploid ancestry …

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 …

We sequenced 2.2 Mb representing triplicated genome segments of Brassica oleracea,
which are each paralogous with one another and homologous with a segmentally …

Background Brassica oleracea is a valuable vegetable species that has contributed to
human health and nutrition for hundreds of years and comprises multiple distinct cultivar …

The crop species within the genus Brassica have highly replicated genomes. Three base
'diploid'species, Brassica oleracea, B. nigra and B. rapa, are likely ancient polyploids, and …

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

The Brassica genus encompasses three diploid and three allopolyploid genomes, but a
clear understanding of the evolution of agriculturally important traits via polyploidy is lacking …

Brassica species, including crops such as cabbage, turnip and oilseed, display enormous
phenotypic variation. Brassica genomes have all undergone a whole-genome triplication …
