Genetic divergence of turnip (Brassica rapa L. em. Metzg. subsp. rapa) inferred from simple sequence repeats in chloroplast and nuclear genomes and morphology

Takahashi Yu, Yokoi Shuji, Takahata Yoshihito

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 63(5): 869-879

Urban Farm DB summary

Analysis of 87 turnip accessions using chloroplast and nuclear SSRs and morphology revealed distinct haplogroups between eastern and western Eurasia, with continental Asian accessions (including Japan) showing the highest genetic diversity.
