Util. 6:11-21. Note: this study examined genetic diversity among accessions representing different continental areas, taxa, and breeding lines; it also evaluated current recognized taxonomic status; B. rapa subsp. oleifera var. ruvo (as B. ruvo) was represented by 6 accessions; this study used two similarity indexes, and dendrograms were generated for each one; it found no clear separation into European, Asian and Indian groups, instead it found several groups for each continent and supporting a polyphyletic origin for several subspecific taxa; for B. ruvo, all European accessions formed a separate cluster, the Japanese accession of B. ruvo clustered with Japanese accessions of subsp. oleifera and rapa within the Asian cluster
