Abstract excerpt
There are two evolutionary lineages in the genus Brassica: the rapa/oleracea lineage and the nigra lineage. Using nuclear DNA sequences such as the intergenic spacer between 5S rRNA genes and the internal transcribed spacer between 18S and 25S rRNA genes, we and others had previously demonstrated that Raphanus sativus is closely related to the nigra lineage. In the present study, we sequenced the chloroplast...
