Article: New breeding science research from Utsunomiya University described.

According to recent research published in the journal Breeding Science, "In order to breed Brassica napus-Raphanus sativus monosomic addition lines (MALs), hybridizations between two synthetic amphidiplold (RRAA and RRCC) and B. napus (AACC) were performed. Two allooctoploids (RRAAAACC and AACCRRCC) were produced from each F, hybrid by chromosome doubling."

"From successive backcrosses to B. napus, MAL plants were first obtained in BC2, generation and the R. sativus-derived chromosome was identified by genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). The nine chromosomes of R-genome in the MAL plants were clearly classified by each chromosome-specific RAPD markers. As a ...
