Brassica napus  (2 n  = 4 x  = 38, AACC) is an important allopolyploid crop derived from interspecific crosses between  Brassica rapa  (2 n  = 2 x  = 20, AA) and  Brassica oleracea  (2 n  = 2 x  = 18, CC). However, no truly wild  B. napus  populations are known; its origin and improvement processes remain unclear. Here, we resequence 588  B. napus  accessions. We uncover that the A subgenome may evolve from the ancestor of European turnip and the C subgenome may evolve from the common ancestor of kohlrabi, cauliflower, broccoli, and Chinese kale. Additionally, winter oilseed may be the original form of  B. napus . Subgenome-specific selection of defense-response genes has contributed to environmental adaptation after formation of the species, whereas asymmetrical subgenomic selection has led to ecotype change. By integrating genome-wide association studies, selection signals, and transcriptome analyses, we identify genes associated with improved stress tolerance, oil content, seed quality, and ecotype improvement. They are candidates for further functional characterization and genetic improvement of  B. napus .
