Description

    Brassica rapa comprises several important cultivated vegetables and oil crops. In particular, 
    Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis; 2n = 20) is an inexpensive 
    and nutritious vegetable that is consumed worldwide, especially in east Asia. 
    The Chinese cabbage have broad green leaves with white petioles, tightly wrapped in 
    a cylindrical formation and usually forming a compact head. 
    The leafy parts of Chinese cabbage have diverse colors and sizes and come in various shapes. 
    The leaves contain the main horticulture purpose as edible parts with high-nutrition. 
    Because of economic value or this crop in the market, a tremendous number of world-wide 
    researches were conducted for dissecting factors governing diverse traits of B. rapa such as 
    flowering time, leaf morphological factors, and disease resistance. As a result, the genetic 
    information related to traits such as QTL, candidate genes and molecular marker is continuously 
    released to research and breeding community.
