TL;DR: It appears that polyploidy and chromosomal diploidization are ongoing processes that collectively stabilize the B. rapa genome and facilitate its evolution.

TL;DR: The considerable variation that the authors observed, even between the different versions of the same Brassica genome, for gene fragments and annotated putative genes suggest that the concept of the pan-genome might be particularly appropriate when considering Brassica genomes.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the BrFLC genes act similarly to AtFLC, a technique for controlling flowering time in Chinese cabbage and other crops to produce high yields of vegetative tissues.

TL;DR: The near-complete chromosome sequence from a dicotyledonous crop species provides an example of the complexity of genome evolution following polyploidy and provides a benchmark for the performance of whole genome shotgun approaches presently being applied in B. rapa and other species with complex genomes.

TL;DR: Because the Moroberekan alleles for SPP and TGW have been shown to be beneficial in the genetic background of Ilpumbyeo, both the qSPP6 and qTGW6 alleles might prove valuable in improving rice yields.
