Stress is an essential component during embryogenesis induction in microspore culture. Cold pretreatment has been used in cereal microspore culture but very seldom attempted in Brassica microspore culture. The effect of cold pretreatment of flower buds subjected to a liquid medium on microspore embryogenesis was investigated in spring and winter Brassica napus, as well as in B. rapa and B. oleracea. Cold pretreatment significantly enhanced microspore embryogenesis (by 1–7 fold) compared to commonly used microspore culture protocol in B. napus, while it was less effective in B. rapa or even negative in B. oleracea. The appropriate duration of cold pretreatment was found to be 2–4 days, which stimulated the best microspore embryogenesis. Cold pretreatment was also able to promote embryo development including the improvement of embryo quality and acceleration of embryogenesis. When incorporating with medium refreshing, cold pretreatment could initiate the most microspore embryogenesis than any other treatment used. With further improvement cold pretreatment method may have a positive potential in Brassica breeding programmes. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate pollen dispersal inBrassica napus (oilseed rape). The selectable marker, used to follow pollen movement, was a dominant transgene (bar) conferring resistance to the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium. Transgenic and non-transgenic plants of the cultivar Westar were planted in a 1.1 ha field trial, with the transgenic plants in a 9 m diameter circle at the centre, surrounded by non-transgenic plants to a distance of at least 47 m in all directions. A 1 m circle of non-transgenic plants was sown in the centre of the transgenic area to allow estimation of the level of pollen dispersal when plants were in close contact. Honeybee hives were placed at the trial site to optimize the opportunity for cross-pollination. During the flowering period, regular observations were made of the number of plants flowering and the number and type of insects present in 60 1 m2 areas. These areas were located uniformly around the plot at distances of 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 and 47 m from the edge of the 9 m circle of transgenic plants. Seed samples were harvested from each of the 7 distances so that approximately 20% of the circumference of the plot was sampled at each distance. The centre non-transgenic circle was also sampled. Plants were grown from the seed samples and sprayed with glufosinate to estimate the frequency of pollen dispersal at each distance. In order to screen enough samples to detect low frequency cross-pollination events, seed samples were tested in the greenhouse and on a larger scale in the field. Results were confirmed by testing progeny for glufosinate resistance and by Southern blot analysis. The estimated percentage of pollen dispersal in the non-transgenic centre circle was 4.8%. The frequency was estimated to be 1.5% at a distance of 1 m and 0.4% at 3 m. The frequency decreased sharply to 0.02% at 12 m and was only 0.00033% at 47 m. No obvious directional effects were detected that could be ascribed to wind or insect activity. 相似文献

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) lines transformedwith the coat protein (CP) gene of Turnip mosaic virus(TuMV) were used to determine the effectiveness of resistance to TuMV mediatedby CP RNA or coat protein. Lines with one, two, or more copies of transgeneswere produced. T2 and T3 lines containing the CP genewitha functional start codon synthesised coat protein and showed high, but variablelevels of resistance to TuMV (21–96% resistant plants per line). TheT1 and T2 progeny of all lines carrying the CP gene withamutated start codon so that RNA but not protein was expressed, were assusceptible to TuMV as controls. Thus, in these experiments we were able toinduce CP-mediated resistance, but not RNA-mediated resistance. 相似文献

Seed lipids of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) usually contain small proportions (<3%) of stearic acid. The objective of this study was to increase the content of stearic fatty␣acid in rapeseed oil. An antisense down-regulation of the endogenous stearoyl-ACP desaturase (SAD) catalysing the reaction step from stearic to oleic acid in two different genetic backgrounds was studied. The result of down-regulation of the SAD yielded an about 10-fold increase of stearic acid from 3.7% up to 32% in single seeds of transgenic low-erucic acid rapeseed (LEAR), while high-erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) showed a 4-fold increase of C18:0 from 1% up to 4%. It could be shown in pooled T2 seed material of LEAR rapeseed, that the stearic acid content is highly correlated with the down-regulation of SAD as indicated by the␣stearate desaturation proportion (SDP). The importance of the promoter strength for the alteration of a trait was confirmed in this study as no change in the fatty acid composition of transgenic plants was achieved with gene constructs controlled by the weak FatB4 seed-specific promoter from Cuphea lanceolata.Karim Zarhloul and Christof Stoll have contributed in

Breeding of oilseed rape (Brassica napus ssp. napus) has evoked a strong bottleneck selection towards double-low (00) seed quality with zero erucic acid and low seed glucosinolate
content. The resulting reduction of genetic variability in elite 00-quality oilseed rape is particularly relevant with regard
to the development of genetically diverse heterotic pools for hybrid breeding. In contrast, B. napus genotypes containing high levels of erucic acid and seed glucosinolates (++ quality) represent a comparatively genetically
divergent source of germplasm. Seed glucosinolate content is a complex quantitative trait, however, meaning that the introgression
of novel germplasm from this gene pool requires recurrent backcrossing to avoid linkage drag for high glucosinolate content.
Molecular markers for key low-glucosinolate alleles could potentially improve the selection process. The aim of this study
was to identify potentially gene-linked markers for important seed glucosinolate loci via structure-based allele-trait association
studies in genetically diverse B. napus genotypes. The analyses included a set of new simple-sequence repeat (SSR) markers whose orthologs in Arabidopsis thaliana are physically closely linked to promising candidate genes for glucosinolate biosynthesis. We found evidence that four genes
involved in the biosynthesis of indole, aliphatic and aromatic glucosinolates might be associated with known quantitative
trait loci for total seed glucosinolate content in B. napus. Markers linked to homoeologous loci of these genes in the paleopolyploid B. napus genome were found to be associated with a significant effect on the seed glucosinolate content. This example shows the potential
of Arabidopsis-Brassica comparative genome analysis for synteny-based identification of gene-linked SSR markers that can potentially be used in marker-assisted
selection for an important trait in oilseed rape.

Before novel transgenic plant genotypes are grown outside containment facilities and evaluated under field conditions, it is necessary to complete a risk assessment to consider the possible consequences of that release. An important aspect of risk assessment is to consider the likelihood and consequences of the transgene being transferred by cross-pollination to related species, including other crops, weeds and ruderal populations. The purpose of this report is to review the literature to assess the ease with whichBrassica napus can hybridize with related species. The evidence for hybridization is considered at three levels: a) by open pollination, b) by hand pollination and c) by the use ofin vitro ovule and embryo rescue techniques; and also examines the fertility and vigour of the F1, F2 and backcross generations. Four species are reported to hybridize withB. napus by open pollination:B. rapa andB. juncea using fully fertile parents; andB. adpressa andR. raphanistrum using a male-sterileB. napus parent. Seventeen species are reported to form hybrids (including the four species above) withB. napus when pollination is carried out manually. At least 12 of these species were unable to form F2 progeny, and eight were unable to produce progeny when the F1 was backcrossed to one of the parental species. Many factors will influence the success of hybridization under field conditions, including: distance between the parents, synchrony of flowering, method of pollen spread, specific parental genotypes used, direction of the cross and the environmental conditions. Even where there is a possibility of hybridization betweenB. napus and a related species growing in the vicinity of a release, poor vigour and high sterility in the hybrids will generally mean that hybrids and their progeny will not survive in either an agricultural or natural habitat. 相似文献

The rate of photosynthesis and its relation to tissue nitrogen content was studied in leaves and siliques of winter oilseed
rape (Brassica napus L.) growing under field conditions including three rates of nitrogen application (0, 100 or 200 kg N ha-1) and two levels of irrigation (rainfed or irrigated at a deficit of 20 mm).
The predominant effect of increasing N application under conditions without water deficiency was enhanced expansion of photosynthetically
active leaf and silique surfaces, while the rate of photosynthesis per unit leaf or silique surface area was similar in the
different N treatments. Thus, oilseed rape did not increase N investment in leaf area expansion before a decline in photosynthetic
rate per unit leaf area due to N deficiency could be avoided. Much less photosynthetically active radiation penetrated into
high-N canopies than into low-N canopies. The specific leaf area increased markedly in low light conditions, causing leaves
in shade to be less dense than leaves exposed to ample light.
In both leaves and siliques the photosynthetic rate per unit surface area responded linearly to increasing N content up to
about 2 g m-2, thus showing a constant rate of net CO2 assimilation per unit increment in N (constant photosynthetic N use efficiency). At higher tissue N contents, photosynthetic
rate responded less to changes in N status. Expressed per unit N, light saturated photosynthetic rate was three times higher
in leaves than in silique valves, indicating a more efficient photosynthetic N utilization in leaves than in siliques. Nevertheless,
from about two weeks after completion of flowering and onwards total net CO2 fixation in silique valves exceeded that in leaves because siliques received much higher radiation intensities than leaves
and because the leaf area declined rapidly during the reproductive phase of growth.
Water deficiency in late vegetative and early reproductive growth stages reduced the photosynthetic rate in leaves and, in
particular, siliques of medium- and high-N plants, but not of low-N plants. 相似文献

Summary
Brassica napus and Brassica juncea were infected with a number of Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains. Tumourigenesis was very rapid and extremely efficient on B. juncea with all but one of the strains. Tumourigenesis on B. napus varied widely. It was very efficient with the nopaline strains, was reduced with the succinamopine strain A281 and was very weak with the octopine strains. The latter observation was confirmed with six different B. napus rapeseed cultivars. The selectivity was due to differences in the virulence of Ti plasmids with B. napus, rather than the tumourigenicity of the T-DNA or virulence of the chromosomal genes associated with the strains. An exception was strain LBA4404. The virulence of the octopine strains was increased by coinfection with more virulent disarmed strains and by induction with acetosyringone. 相似文献

We report the RFLP mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) which regulate the total seed aliphaticglucosinolate content in Brassica napus L. A population of 99 F1-derived doubled-haploid (DH) recombinant lines from a cross between the cultivars Stellar (low-glucosinolate) and Major (high-glucosinolate) was used for singlemarker analysis and the interval mapping of QTLs associated with total seed glucosinolates. Two major loci, GSL-1 and GSL-2, with the largest influence on total seed aliphatic-glucosinolates, were mapped onto LG 20 and LG 1, respectively. Three loci with smaller effects, GSL-3, GSL-4 and GSL-5, were tentatively mapped to LG 18, LG 4 and LG 13, respectively. The QTLs acted in an additive manner and accounted for 71 % of the variation in total seed glucosinolates, with GSL-1 and GSL-2 accounting for 33% and 17%, respectively. The recombinant population had aliphatic-glucosinolate levels of between 6 and 160 moles per g-1 dry wt of seed. Transgressive segregation for high seed glucosinolate content was apparent in 25 individuals. These phenotypes possessed Stellar alleles at GSL-3 and Major alleles at the four other GSL loci demonstrating that low-glucosinolate genotypes (i.e. Stellar) may possess alleles for high glucosinolates which are only expressed in particular genetic backgrounds. Gsl-elong and Gsl-alk, loci which regulate the ratio of individual aliphatic glucosinolates, were also mapped. Gsl-elong-1 and Gsl-elong-2, which control elongation of the -amino-acid precursors, mapped to LG 18 and LG 20 and were coincident with GSL loci which regulate total seed aliphatic glucosinolates. A third tentative QTL, which regulates side-chain elongation, was tentatively mapped to LG 12. Gsl-alk, which regulates H3CS-removal and side-chain de-saturation, mapped to LG 20. 相似文献

A method is described for regenerating callus from mesophyll protoplasts of a winter variety of Brassica napus. The method combines the use of Ficoll in an initial liquid medium, enhancing early protoplast division and cell colony formation, with a transfer to an agarose system after 10 days culture to give rapid microcalli formation. Further transfers resulted in callus regeneration and the initiation of organogenesis. 相似文献

Uniconazole at various concentrations on rape, at the three-leaf stage, was examined for physiologic and yield effects. Foliar sprays of 10, 25, and 50 mg/liter significantly reduced seedling height, and increased shoot width (stem width before elongation), number of green leaves, and total dry weight at transplanting. Chlorophyll content, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, root oxidizability (capacity for root oxidation), and ethylene production were also increased. Additionally, the number of branches and pods/plant were increased; and a 7.4, 8.5, and 4.3% increase of seed yield over the controls was observed with treatments at 10, 25, and 50 mg/liter uniconazole, respectively. No significant effects were observed on plant maturity, the seed oil content, or the erucic acid and glucosinolate content. Total oil production significantly increased with 10, 25, and 50 mg/liter by 9.9, 10.6, and 6.8%, respectively, over the controls. These results suggested that uniconazole-induced high productivity was accompanied by increased levels of activities of various antioxidants, including superoxide dismutase and catalase, and by the improvement of root oxidizability and plant vigor.Abbreviations SOD

Abstract. Soil grown oilseed rape ( Brassica napus L. var. oleifera M., cv. Darmor) seedlings at the cotyledon stage (one week old), were inoculated in vivo at the base of the hypocotyl with Agrobacterium rhizogenes harbouring the pRi 15834 plasmid. Resulting adventitious root formation was observable about 2 or 3 weeks after infection. Differential Ri-induced root emergence and subsequent development occurred depending on water conditions and closeness of the wounding site to the soil surface: either thin, hairy roots growing rapidly and plagiotropically at the soil level under humid atmosphere, or hairless and fleshy, slowly growing aerial roots developed. The hairy roots were highly drought susceptible, whereas aerial roots revealed some potential for drought tolerance. Unlike normal roots, none of these Ri-induced roots appeared able to give rise to drought rhizogenesis in plants subjected to progressive drought stress. However, under hardening, achieved through successive and moderate drought stress-rehydration cycles, both types of Ri-induced roots improved drought tolerance and could express the morphogenetic differentiation programme leading to the formation of short, tuberized, drought-adapted, roots. These results, discussed in terms of hormonal imbalance and drought tolerance regulation, suggest that the Ri T-DNA gene expression, responsible for adventitious root induction and growth behaviour, is further regulated through the host plant. 相似文献

The impact of genetically modified oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) on the foraging behaviour of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) was evaluated on two different lines transformed to express constitutively heterologous chitinase in somatic tissue for enhanced disease resistance. Experiments were conducted in confinement in an indoor flight room with controlled conditions and in an outdoor flight cage with conditions more representative of the open environment. Foraging behaviour was analysed by observations of general bee behaviour (total number of visits) and of individual bee behaviour (using a video camera coupled with a special software program to process the data). The plants were analysed in terms of nectar quantity and quality (nectar volume and sugar content). The results showed no effects on bee foraging behaviour due to the modification of the genome of these plants by the introduction of a chitinase gene even though some differences between lines were found in the nectar. The methods applied in this original approach for the evaluation of the impact of genetically modified oilseed rape were shown to be sufficiently sensitive to detect changes in bee behaviour resulting from differences between plants. 相似文献

RAPDs (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNAs) were used to discriminate among 23 cultivars of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) selected from several breeding programs. A set of 100 random sequence 10-mer primers were tested, of which 70 produced bands and 22 showed evidence of polymorphism. A selection of six primers produced 23 polymorphic bands of between 300 to 2200 base pairs in size, sufficient to distinguish between the cultivars. An analysis of seed of five cultivars obtained from four different sites showed stability of banding pattern over source of seed. The analysis was repeated using four different thermocyclers, each of which produced the same band pattern. UPGMA cluster analysis indicates that the relationships among some of the cultivars is closer for those from the same breeding program than for those from different programs. The results of this study show that RAPDs can be used as a method of identification for oilseed rape cultivars.Contribution number 941 相似文献

Summary Genetically transformed repeseed (Brassica napus) roots were obtained by in vitro inoculation of excised stem segments with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. Axenic root organ clones were established and they exhibited a phenotype characteristic of transformed roots: rapid growth, reduced apical dominance and root plagiotropism. Stem regeneration was induced by exposing root fragments to 2,4-dichloroacetic acid (2,4-D) in liquid medium, followed by transfer to solid regeneration medium. The resulting plants exhibited the transformed phenotype observed in other species where similar experiments have been performed. Direct evidence for genetic transformation was obtained from opine assays and molecular hybridization. Sexual transmission of the transformed phenotype was Mendelian, and a probable case of T-DNA insertion into two independent loci within the same plant was detected. The estimated optimal time necessary to obtain transformed oilseed rape plants using this approach is 2 months. 相似文献

Genetically modified plants containing selectable markers offer a unique opportunity for pollination biologists to investigate some of the major, but intractable questions about paternity distributions and their causes. Here, a method is reported that uses transgenic plants to enable the quantification of the outcrossed fertilizations that result from a single pollinator visit. Gene flow mediated by worker bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) was studied among plants of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L. cv. Westar) where transgenic paternity in seeds of a non-transgenic plant was manifested as herbicide resistance. Overall, 91% of the resistant seeds resulted from the first four flowers that were visited after the bumblebee left the transgenic plant, and none was found beyond the 14th successively visited flower. The possibilities for developing the method to address various questions in pollination biology are discussed. 相似文献

RFLP segregation analyses were performed on a F2 population and two F1 microspore-derived populations from the same cross between a microspore culture-responsive parent (Topas) and a non-responsive parent (Westar). A total of 145 loci were detected with 87 cDNA clones. Eighty-two markers were common across all three populations. A total of 66 markers was assembled into 18 linkage groups and 16 markers remained unlinked. Segregation distortions were significant for 29% of the markers in the F2 population and 23% and 31% in microspore-derived populations M3 and M5, respectively. An equivalent number of markers showed biased segregation towards each parental allele in the F2 population while more markers showed a significant deviation from the expected Mendelian ratio towards the responsive parent in both microspore-derived populations. Different subsets of markers showed segregation distortions in the three populations indicating that the selective pressures leading to microsporederived plants are different from those acting during selfing of the F1. Linkage groups 1 and 18 were identified as putative chromosomal regions associated with microspore-culture responsiveness. 相似文献

Summary Microspore-derived embryos of Brassica napus were transformed using the disarmed octopine-producing LBA4404 strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing the binary vector pBin19. Octopine-producing strains have previously been reported to be ineffective in transforming Brassica. Four actively growing yellow/ green sectors were selected from the embryos on 50 mg/l kanamycin and plants regenerated. Analysis for NPT-II activity in these young plants initially indicated no expression of the bacterial NPT-II gene. The plants were nevertheless grown to maturity, selfed and S1 seed was collected. Three of the S1 plants produced microspores which were from 4 to 20 times more tolerant to kanamycin than the original parent. Southern analysis revealed that one plant (EC-1) had a single site of insertion and the other two plants (EC-2 and EC-6) had two sites of insertion with sequence homology to the bacterial NPT-II gene. Microspores from the EC-2 and EC-6 transgenics produced embryos on approximately five times the level of kanamycin tolerated by microspores from untransformed plants, while the EC-1 transgenic produced microspores with more than 20 times the tolerance to kanamycin. Analysis of S1 progeny of the EC-1 transgenic indicated that 100% of the progeny exhibited the trait through both Southern analysis and by expressing tolerance to kanamycin in microspore-derived embryos. 相似文献

Summary
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of thin cell layer explants (Klimaszewska and Keller 1985) yielded large numbers of transgenic plants of a major Canadian rapeseed cultivar Brassica napus ssp. oleifera cv Westar. The morphology and fertility of these plants were indistinguishable from controls. The Ti plasmid vector, pGV3850 (Zambryski et al. 1983) was used as a cis vector and as a helper plasmid for the binary vector pBin19 (Bevan 1984). Selectable marker genes that conferred resistance to high levels of kanamycin (Km) on Nicotiana tabacum were less efficient in the selection of transgenic B. napus. At low levels of Km (15 g/ml) large numbers of transgenic plants (50%) were identified among the regenerants by nopaline synthase activity and several of these were confirmed by Southern blot analyses. Only a small number were resistant to higher levels of Km (80 g/ml). Preliminary analyses indicated that resistance to Km was transmitted to the selfed progeny. Chimeric chloramphenicol acetyl transferase genes were ineffective biochemical markers in transgenic B. napus.Contribution No. 1092 Plant Research Centre, Ontario, Canada 相似文献
