Abstract
<p>The genus <em>Brassica </em>(Brassicaceae, Brassiceae) is closely related to the model plant <em>Arabidopsis</em>, and includes several important crop plants. Against the background of ongoing genome sequencing, and in line with efforts to standardize and simplify description of genetic entities, we propose a standard systematic gene nomenclature system for the <em>Brassica </em>genus. This is based upon concatenating abbreviated categories, where these are listed in descending order of significance from left to right (i.e. genus – species – genome – gene name – locus – allele). Indicative examples are provided, and the considerations and recommendations for use are discussed, including outlining the relationship with functionally well-characterized <em>Arabidopsis </em>orthologues. A <em>Brassica </em>Gene Registry has been established under the auspices of the Multinational <em>Brassica </em>Genome Project that will enable management of gene names within the research community, and includes provisional allocation of standard names to genes previously described in the literature or in sequence repositories. The proposed standardization of <em>Brassica </em>gene nomenclature has been distributed to editors of plant and genetics journals and curators of sequence repositories, so that it can be adopted universally. <h3> </h3></p>
