Note: this study examined hybridization patterns and phylogenetic affinities of Chinese vegetable mustards using non-USDA accessions of 20 taxa; the leaf vegetable Brassica juncea subsp. tsatsai var. tumida (as B. juncea var. tumida) was represented by two accessions; this study found that ITS 1 region provided higher level of sequence divergence than ITS 2, and the phylogenetic trees obtained by two different methods resolved two main clusters: B. nigra and B. rapa lineages with poor resolution, not support to taxonomic morphological classification of edible mustards, and incongruencies on affinities within B. juncea; one of the incongruencies corresponds to B. juncea subsp. tsatsai var. tumida, both of its accessions did not cluster together, one accession clustered in the Nigra lineage, the other accession was included in the Rapa lineage, and these results were interpreted as reflecting differences in genetic backgrounds
