• Field: Genetics and molecular biology
• Keywords: Brassicaceae; crucifers; genome evolution; phylogenetics; plant systematics
• Description: Research breakthroughs in understanding evolutionary patterns and processes within the Brassicaceae were not achieved until the past few years. In this review, we examine recent outcomes from diverse botanical disciplines (taxonomy, systematics, genomics, paleobotany and other fields) to synthesize for the first time a holistic view on the evolutionary history of the mustard family.
