Chapter
Diversity and Evolution of B. napus Chloroplast Genome
Chloroplast genomes (cpDNAs) are a vital resource for studying plant genome diversity, origin and evolution. B. napus, an important oilseed crop, is a recently formed allotetraploid between B. rapa and B. olerace...

Chapter
Quantity, Distribution, and Evolution of Major Repeats in Brassica napus
Repetitive elements (REs) play major roles in genome organization, size, and evolution, but are often underrepresented in genome assemblies. The recent genome assembly of the allotetraploid Brassica napus genome ...
