Flowering Chinese cabbage is a type of leafy vegetable that belongs to the Brassica genus. Originally native to South China, it is now widely cultivated and consumed across the globe, particularly in Asian countries. The recent cultivation and regional expansion of flowering Chinese cabbage provides a valuable opportunity to elucidate the genomic basis underlying environmental adaptation and desired traits during a short-term artificial selection process. Here, we investigate the genetic variation, population structure, and diversity of a diverse germplasm collection of 403 flowering Chinese cabbage accessions. Our investigation seeks to elucidate the genomic basis that guide the selection of adaptability, yield, and pivotal agronomic traits. We further investigated breeding improvement associated with stem development by integrating transcriptome data. Genome-wide association analysis identified 642 loci and corresponding candidate genes associated with 11 essential agronomic traits, including plant architecture and yield. Furthermore, we uncovered a significant disparity in the allele frequency distribution of non-synonymous mutations in these candidate genes throughout the improvement stages. Our results shed light on the genetic basis of improvement and crucial agronomic traits in flowering Chinese cabbage, offering invaluable resources for upcoming genomics-assisted breeding endeavors.
