Kale is known for its exceptional nourishing and functional benefits to human body. However, it is an understudied species from genomic as well as agronomic aspects. It is important to characterize niche kale germplasms around the world to systematically conserve and utilize its genetic variability, especially for commercial traits in the interest of growers, consumers and industry.
