| Abstract:
The genus Brassica L., phylogenetically related to Arabidopsis thaliana, includes many economically important food crops. This genus can serve as a botanical model of plant polyploidization and rapid phenotypic evolution. Recently, we established the Korea Brassica Genome Resource Bank (KBGRB), a Brassica-related seed and DNA stock center, to supply foundation plant materials for structural and functional genomics of Brassica species. The KBGRB has developed populations, including doubled haploid and recombinant inbred lines, and mutants of Brassica rapa, and has constructed genomic bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and cDNA libraries. Seeds and genomic DNA libraries of other Brassica species have also been collected. The germplasm held by KBGRB has been propagated and maintained. Information and other requests for genomic resources of Brassica are accessible at http://www.brassica-resource.org. | |
