Abstract: | Summary
Brassica napus and B. nigra were combined via protoplast fusion into the novel hybrid Brassica naponigra. The heterokaryons were identified by fluorescent markers and selected by flow sorting. Thirty hybrid plants were confirmed by isozyme analysis to contain both B. nigra and B. napus chromosomes; of these, 20 plants had the sum of the parental chromosome numbers. A non-random segregation of the chloroplasts was found in the hybrids. Of 14 hybrid plants investigated, all had the B. napus type of chloroplast. The resistance to Phoma lingam found in the B. nigra cultivar used in the fusion experiments was expressed in 26 of the hybrid plants. The hybrids obtained in this study contain all of the three Brassica genomes (A, B and C) and have thus created unique possibilities for genetic exchanges between the genomes. Since most of the plants were fertile as well as resistant to P. lingam, they have been incorporated into conventional rapeseed breeding programs. |
