Brassica juncea var. tumida and Brassica juncea var. crispifolia are the most important two kinds of mustard with long planting history in Zhejiang Province. Processing products of pickled tuber mustard and potherb mustard are famous in the world. It has attracted the attention of vegetable research scholars for a long time and achieved certain research progress. Therefore, this paper will review the research progress of the basic research, genetic breeding and processing technology of mustard in Zhejiang province, and the problems in the mustard study were summarized and the future research directions were prosposed in order to provide reference for the follow-up research on mustard.
