In this review we summarize recent advances in our understanding of phylogenetics,
polyploidization and comparative genomics in the family Brassicaceae. These findings pave …

Plant cytogenetic studies have provided essential knowledge on chromosome behavior
during meiosis, contributing to our understanding of this complex process. In this review, we …

Background Brassica species include both vegetable and oilseed crops, which are very
important to the daily life of common human beings. Meanwhile, the Brassica species …

Association genetics can quickly and efficiently delineate regions of the genome that control
traits and provide markers to accelerate breeding by marker-assisted selection. But most …

Resistance to pod shattering (shatter resistance) is a target trait for global rapeseed (canola,
Brassica napus L.), improvement programs to minimise grain loss in the mature standing …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) was selected as an example of a polyploid crop, and the
Solexa sequencing system was used to generate approximately 20 million expressed …

Radish (Raphanus sativus L., n= 9) is one of the major vegetables in Asia. Since the
genomes of Brassica and related species including radish underwent genome …

All crop plants are polyploid and some genomes have been duplicated more recently than
others. Advancements in cytogenetic and molecular tools, including high‐density genetic …

Mesopolyploid whole-genome duplication (WGD) was revealed in the ancestry of Australian
Brassicaceae species with diploid-like chromosome numbers (n= 4 to 6). Multicolor …

The family Brassicaceae comprises 3710 species in 338 genera, 25 recently delimited
tribes, and three major lineages based on phylogenetic results from the chloroplast gene …
