Brassica napus (2 n  = 4 x  = 38, AACC) is an important allopolyploid crop derived from interspecific crosses between Brassica rapa (2 n  = 2 x  = 20, AA) and Brassica oleracea (2 n  = 2 x  = 18, CC). However, no truly wild B. napus populations are known; its origin and improvement processes remain...
