Abstract excerpt
Brassica rapa is the most widely distributed and has the longest history of domestication of the agricultural Brassica species. Molecular genetic diversity, based on 51 simple sequence repeat primer pairs and 715 alleles at polymorphic loci, was used to predict the center of origin and centers of diversity in a global collection of 173 B. rapa accessions. The accessions were separated into 3 molecular genetic...
