Analysis of variance among the 92 accessions revealed significant differences on 13 traits. The 13 traits were plant height, setting po-sition of the first primary branch, silique number （ on terminal raceme） , silique density, siliques per plant, seeds per silique, thousand seed weight, seed yield per plant, flowering time, final flowering, ma-turity time, cold mortality, and oil content. Other 3 traits were not significant （primary branches per plant, terminal raceme length and seed protein） . Cluster analysis revealed that 92 accessions were clus-tered into 3 major groups. The 1st group had 10 Canadian and 5 Chinese. The 2nd group had 33 acces-sions from China and 5 from Europe. The 3rd group had 39 accessions from Europe and the USA. For ag-ronomy and quality traits, 45. 73% genetic variation attributed to differences among populations of geo-graphic regions, and 54. 27% attributed to differences within geographic regions. In summary, the a-broad accessions were distinguished from domestic ones, and could be used as important germplasm re-sources for enriching the genetic background of Chinese rapeseed, and vice versa.展开更多
