Classification of "nabana" (Brassica rapa) cultivars and landraces based on simple sequence repeat markers.

ABSTRACT: Brassica rapa or B. napus vegetables for eating as young inflorescences and stalks are called "nabana". Japanese nabana includes "flower-bud type" and "stem-and-leaf type". Chinese and European types are also known (cai-xin, zicaitai, and broccoletto). We classified nabana belonging to B. rapa and other B. rapa vegetables. In a simple sequence repeat-based phylogram, 49 ingroup samples were classified into four groups (I-IV). Flower-bud and stem-and-leaf types were separated into groups I and III, respectively, with a slight overlap in group II. Cai-xin and non-heading Chinese cabbages were included in group IV. Broccoletto was placed in group III, close to turnips. Zicaitai cultivars were included in group II. We tested for clubroot resistance (CR) and its mark
