Leafy vegetable crops (LVCs) are consumed worldwide and offer essential nutrients for humans. Unlike model plant species, systematic characterisation of gene function is lacking, although whole-genome sequences (WGSs) are available for various LVCs. Several recent studies in Chinese cabbage have reported high-density mutant populations linking genotype to phenotype, providing blueprints for functional LVC genomics and beyond.
