The "triangle of U" diagram, showing the genetic relationships among six species of the genus Brassica. Chromosomes from each of the genomes A, B and C are represented by different colours.
The triangle of U (/uː/OO) is a theory about the evolution and relationships among the six most commonly known members of the plant genus Brassica. The theory states that the genomes of three ancestral diploid species of Brassica combined to create three common tetraploid vegetables and oilseed crop species.[1] It has since been confirmed by studies of DNA and proteins.[2]
The theory is summarized by a triangular diagram that shows the three ancestral genomes, denoted by AA, BB, and CC, at the corners of the triangle, and the three derived ones, denoted by AABB, AACC, and BBCC, along its sides.
The theory was first published in 1935 by Woo Jang-choon,[3] a Korean-Japanese botanist (writing under the Japanized name "U Nagaharu").[4] Woo made synthetic hybrids between the diploid and tetraploid species and examined how the chromosomes paired in the resulting triploids.

Comparative genomic analyses can assign the subgenomes of the allotetraploids, B. juncea and B. napus, with their diploid parental taxa, and the results were in agreement with U's triangle (Chalhoub et al., 2014; Yang et al., 2016a).
