Genomic selection and genetic architecture of agronomic traits during modern flowering Chinese cabbage breeding.

ABSTRACT: Flowering Chinese cabbage is a type of leafy vegetable that belongs to the Brassica genus. Originally native to South China, it is now widely cultivated and consumed across the globe, particularly in Asian countries. The recent cultivation and regional expansion of flowering Chinese cabbage provides a valuable opportunity to elucidate the genomic basis underlying environmental adaptation and desired traits during a short-term artificial selection process. Here, we investigate the genetic variation, population structure, and diversity of a diverse germplasm collection of 403 flowering Chinese cabbage accessions. Our investigation seeks to elucidate the genomic basis that guides the selection of adaptability, yield, and pivotal agronomic traits. We further investigated breeding improv
