Resynthesised Brassica napus as a genetic resource in rapeseed improvement<br />

Material and methods<br />

Developing intraspecific hybrids based on resynthesised rapeseed<br />

In the course of an industrial rapeseed breeding programme, spring-type resynthesised<br />

HEAR lines (RS lines) were developed and evaluated for agronomic features,<br />

such as growth habit, different leaf characters, flowering behaviour and seed yield<br />

components (cf. LÜHS and FRIEDT 1999, SEYIS et al. 1999). Nine selected RS lines –<br />

derived from interspecific crosses between different cauliflower (B. oleracea ssp. oleracea<br />

convar. botrytis var. botrytis L.) cultivars (‘BK 2256’, ‘BK 2287’, ‘BK 3094’, ‘BK<br />

3096’ and ‘Venus’) and B. rapa ‘Yellow Sarson’ (ssp. trilocularis (Roxb.) Hanelt; Y.S.)<br />

– as well as the old spring cultivars ‘Janetzkis Sommerraps’, ‘Bronowski’ and ‘Svalöfs<br />

Gulle’ were used as male parents (pollinators) in order to develop intraspecific hybrids<br />

(cf. pedigree Tab. 1). For hybrid seed production the male sterile double-low<br />

lines ‘MSL-506c’ and ‘MSL-510c’ (NPZ, Norddeutsche Pflanzen<strong>zu</strong>cht, Hohenlieth,<br />

Germany) were grown in the year 2000 under isolation cages together with the higherucic<br />

acid pollinators; pollination was facilitated by bumble bees. The semi-synthetic<br />

rapeseed hybrids (TH1-TH18) based on RS lines as well as the conventional test<br />

hybrids (TH19-TH24) were analysed for fatty acid composition by gas chromatography.<br />

The experimental hybrids (Tab. 1) were tested in the growing season 2001 for<br />

yield performance at two locations - the Field Research Station of Rauischholzhausen<br />

(near Marburg/Hesse, Germany) and Hohenlieth (NPZ, Hohenlieth, Germany) -<br />

and with two replications using the double-low spring rapeseed ‘Senator’ and the<br />

breeding line ‘PF 8242/96’ as checks.<br />
