Abstract: Clubroot is a soil-borne disease of the Brassicaceae caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin. This disease has become one of the main disease of Brassica rapa and other cruciferous crops worldwide. In China，vegetable crops of Brassica rapa make an important role in cruciferous crops. This review introduces the biological features，life cycles，host symptoms and pathotypes differentiation of this disease. Disease management strategies used in China are also involved，especially strategy based on genetic breeding. The research works and application of resistant genes are highlighted. Furthermore，for sustainable development of resistant Brassica rapa breeding，potential problems of using resistant varieties and some prospects are addressed.
