The two genera also differ in their mustard oils and seed proteins, thus supporting their maintenance (I. A. Al-Shehbaz 1985). Molecular studies (S. I. Warwick and L. D. Black 1991, 1993) have suggested that neither genus is monophyletic and, except for S. aucheri (Boissier) O. E. Schulz, the remaining taxa of <i>Sinapis</i> show a very close relationship to <i>B. nigra</i>, consistent with Linnaeus’s original description of this species as <i>S. nigra</i>.</p> |tables= |references={{Treatment/Reference |id=baillargeon1986a |text=Baillargeon, G. 1986.
