Abstract

China is one of the oldest centres for vegetable crops. Some of them can still be found in the wild or semi-wild state, but some have already spread to other countries to become world-wide crops. There are many species currently growing that are peculiar to China, including aquatic vegetables, bamboo sprouts and several kinds of beans, gourds, tubers and greens. Quite a number of Brassica varieties are widely grown. Some are considered to have originated in north China ( B. pekinensis), and some in central and south China ( B. chinensis and B. juncea), and then spread out to Japan and south-eastern Asia. Schemes for the development of different varieties are suggested.
