    Notes: Significant heterosis for seed yield in oilseed rape has created interest in the development of hybrid cultivars. The DNA-based marker protocol, sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) was used to determine genetic diversity among oilseed rape maintainer and restorer lines. This measure was used in an attempt to establish an association between genetic distance and heterosis in hybrids for various agronomic traits. A total of 118 polymorphic loci were generated by 18 SRAP primer combinations. Based on the polymorphism generated by the markers, calculated similarity index values ranged from 0.46 to 0.97. Cluster analysis grouped 10 maintainer and 12 restorer lines into three groups, with the exception of two maintainer lines, PM5 and PM9, which fell outside these groups. The grouping of the lines was largely in agreement with the available pedigree data on their origin and agronomic performance. Analysis of variance among inbred lines and their resulting F1 hybrids over two locations revealed significant differences for plant height, days to maturity and seed yield, but not for oil content. Substantial mid-parent heterosis was observed only for seed yield, and ranged from 26% to 169%. All hybrids surpassed their respective inbred lines for this trait, except for a single cross combination of related lines. In general, crosses of lines located in different clusters yielded more than those from the same clusters. Regression analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between the genetic distance of the parents and seed yield in their hybrid, and their derived mid-parent and high-parent heterosis. The correlation coefficient between genetic distance and yield (0.64) indicated a moderately strong relationship, so it is possible that some of the SRAP markers might be linked to quantitative trait loci for seed yield.

    Notes: General criteria for the assignment of names to enzyme systems, regions of activity, isozyme loci and allozymes have been lacking in crucifer species. This paper proposes a standard nomenclature for seven isozyme systems in the three diploid species of U's triangle: Brassica nigra, B. oleracea and B. campestris. Gel/electrode buffers, which provided the best resolution for seven isozyme systems, acid phosphatase (APS), aconitase (ACO), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6 PGD), phosphoglucoisomerase (PGI), phosphoglucomutase (PGM), and triosephosphate isomerase (TPI), were proposed as standards. Isozyme genetic analysis was determined for B. oleracea and B. campestris from previous studies and by segregation of selfed progenies of heterozygous B. nigra plants. Several populations were studied and 148 allozymes at the 18 loci observed were described for the three species. Their relative mobility was studied using a pure line of oilseed rape as reference. The comparison of the different alleles within and between the species is discussed.

    Notes: Breeding rapeseed for enhanced oil quality includes the development of varieties with low linolenic acid content. The breeder also aims to develop varieties with a high linoleic acid content because of its nutritional value. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers have been developed for linolenic acid content, but they are not best suited for a direct application in marker-assisted selection. The RFLP technique is too complex and time-consuming and RAPD markers lack codominance, precluding the distinction of homozygous from heterozygous individuals. In this report the conversion of a RAPD marker to a codominant sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker named L1L9 is described. One of the alleles consisting of an 899 bp fragment (allele A), is associated with low linolenic acid content. The other allele consists of an 641 bp fragment (allele B) and is associated with high linolenic acid content. This marker explains approximately 25% of the genetic variation for this trait. Linkage analysis in the mapping population indicates that the SCAR marker probably tags an ω-3 desaturase gene in B. napus. Two RAPD markers were found to be associated with oleic/linoleic acid content. Markers M14-350 and I06-650 explained approximately 10% and 7% of the genetic variation for linoleic acid content, respectively. These two markers were found linked at 12.3cM in the segregating B. napus F2 progeny used for mapping. All the markers reported in this paper should be useful in breeding programmes for developing high linoleic and low linolenic acid rapeseed varieties.

    Notes: Screening of 144 varieties of celery A. graveolens L. for late blight (Septoria apiicola Speg.) resistance resulted in the detection of significant differences for disease reaction. However, each accession displayed greater than 25 % leaf necrosis area due to the disease pathogen. Hence the magnitude of infection in the least susceptible plants was still too great to use them as a valuable source for resistance. The wild species A. chilense and A. panul exhibited a few discrete yellow spots with very little, if any, pycnidial development. This type of resistance was not observed in any accession of celery screened. The degree of resistance was intermediate in the F1 hybrids between A. graveolens × A. chilense and A. graveolens×A. panul, indicating incomplete dominance. The resistance to late blight found in these wild species and their ability to cross with celery provides a novel germplasm source for breeding celery lines with improved resistance to late blight.

    Notes: Using interspecific hybridization among various Brassica species, B-genome chromosomes from different sources of Brassica, i.e. B. nigra (BB, 2n = 18), B. carinata (BBCC), 2n = 34) and B. juncea (AABB, 2n = 36) were transferred into the Canadian variety ‘Andor’ of B. napus. Monosomic addition lines were selected (AACC + 1B, 2n = 39) by cytological control. For characterization of the alien chromosomes, series of isozymes, RFLPs and RAPD markers were employed. This permitted the identification of a total of 39 lines representing seven of the eight B-genome chromosomes.

    Notes: Hyperploid derivatives of Diplotaxis erucoides × Brassica nigra hybrids were used to extract seven out of the eight possible monosoinic addition lines for B. nigra (genome B). The fertility and transmission of the lines varied depending on the added chromosome. However, these parameters were high enough to assure the maintenance of the addition lines. Although no phenotypic changes were observed, the plants carrying extra chromosomes were slower in development than diploid D. emcoides. Each of the B. nigra chromosomes was recognizable cytologically by size and heterochromatin distribution. Seven of these were characterized by a series of isozymes and RFLP markers. Ribosotnal DNA sequences were detected in two independent B. nigra chromosomes. Two probes disclosed fragments dispersed in more than one chromosome.

    Notes: Abstract Two Apium accessions were compared with the commercial cultivar ‘Tall Utah’ 52–70R (A. graveolens [L.]) for resistance to Spodoptera exigua (Hübner)(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Oviposition rate was not significantly different between the three genotypes. In all accessions, eggs were usually placed on the upper half of the plants. Implications of this oviposition pattern on S. exigua management in celery are discussed. The wild species A. prostratum ssp prostratum var filiform (A230) showed a significantly higher resistance to S. exigua than 52–70R. The levels of carcinogenic and mutagenic linear furanocoumarins in the commercial cultivar 52–70R (1.41 μg/g in the petioles; 5.85 μg/g in the leaves) and in the plant accession A. nodiflorum (5.40 μg/g in the petioles; 2.99 μg/g in the leaves) were far below the concentration reported to produce acute contact dermatitis (18.0 μg/g). The levels of furanocoumarins in A. prostratum petioles (186.14 μg/g) and leaves (326.45 μg/g) were 10 and 18 times higher, respectively, than the concentration known to cause contact dermatitis. However, resistance in A. prostratum was primarily due to non-preference and the linear furanocoumarins did not induce non-preference. Therefore, the resistance shown by this plant accession does not appear to be furanocoumarin-based and may be suitable for transfer to commercial celery for use in S. exigua management.

    Notes: Summary Two RAPD fragments segregating codominantly were investigated in a F2 population of Brassica nigra. Southern hybridization of these DNA fragments to genomic B. nigra DNA digested with several endonucleases revealed similar restriction profiles. Sequencing of the two fragments disclosed 93% homology. The differences were due mainly to an internal 41 nucleotide deletion in one of the fragments. Minor deletions of one to three bases, including a microsatellite of CTT motif were also observed. In addition, base substitutions, mostly transitions were detected. These relatively small differences suggested that the two RAPD products were indeed different versions of the same sequence. The larger fragment of 1154 bp was denominated A051 whereas the shorter one, denominated A052, had 1116 bp.

    Notes: Abstract Transgenic celery plants were obtained following co-cultivation of petiole explants with Agrobacterlum tumefaciens containing pMON200, a cointegrate vector carrying genes for kanamycin resistance and nopaline synthase. Transformants were selected by ability of callus to grow in the presence of 50mg/l kanamycin. Transformation was confirmed either by the presence of nopaline or by Southern blots. Cytological analysis of 14 transformed plants revealed chromosomal aberrations, both in structure and number. Only 20% of the regenerated plants had the normal karyotype. Kanamycin resistance behaved as a monogenic, dominant trait, segregating in a 3:1 ratio in three families derived from plants with normal karyotypes.

    Notes: Summary This paper reports the application of the RAPD (random amplification of polymorphic DNA sequence) markers in Brassica genetics. Forty-seven arbitrary decamer oligonucletides were used as primers to amplify genomic DNA by polymerase chain reaction. Some of the amplified products were genome specific and could be found in both diploid and derived amphidiploid species. Of a total of 65 such markers, 16 were A genome, 37 B genome, and 12 C genome specific. Of the 37 B-genome-specific markers, 11 were mapped on four independent chromosomes of B. nigra with the aid of existing B. napus-nigra disomic alien addition lines.
