Abstract: | We have developed an efficient PCR-based system that uses RAPD markers for the certification of F1 hybrids of canola. These markers were selected by screening five parental lines used in three crosses X, Y and Z with 131, 131 and 322 primers respectively. Stable DNA fragments that were homozygous and specific to the male inbreds were used to certify F1 hybrid populations. The hybrid production system was based on self-incompatibility (SI) alleles that prevent self-pollination of the female parent. The efficiency of two S-alleles was compared under both field and greenhouse conditions. The percentage of hybridity was estimated in different F1 populations. We found a significant difference between the two alleles for their efficiency in controlling selfing; both alleles were stable under greenhouse conditions, one allele appeared less reliable under field conditions. |
