Chromosome Associations

Plants were regenerated from seedling tissue explants of four lines of winter rape (Brassica napus L.) including a cytoplasmic male sterile line carrying Raphanus sativus L. cytoplasm, and from leaf mesophyll protoplasts of the cytoplasmic male sterile line. Chromosome number variability was investigated in 102 regenerated plants. Mitotic root-tip cells were scored initially; those plants exhibiting mixoploidy or an altered chromosome number were reexamined at meiosis to confirm the presence of alterations in germ line cells. Plants regenerated from seedling explants included 2n = 38 diploids (87.0%) similar to the parental line, monosomics (7.8%), trisomics (2.6%), and 2n = 76 tetraploids (1.3%). The germ line number was not resolved in one mixoploid (1.3%). Protoplast-derived regenerated plants were diploid (44%), hypodiploid (20%), and tetraploid or hypotetraploid (36%). Meiotic analysis of regenerated plants showed a range of multiple chromosome associations with no plants consistently exhibiting bivalent formation only. Chromosomal alterations other than number may have been induced by culture, but could not be substantiated since multiple chromosome associations were also frequent in control plants grown from seed.Key words: plant regeneration, protoplast regeneration, Brassica napus, cytogenetics.

Hybrid summer rape (Brassica napus L.) seed production blocks were established at two locations in Manitoba in 1986 and 1987 to examine the effect of distance from the pollen source on seed yield, (both total and hybrid) and percent hybridity of seed produced on rows of a male sterile line of the open pollinated population B. napus cultivar, Marnoo, possessing the pol cytoplasmic male sterility inducing cytoplasm. A 10:1 ratio of male sterile line (A-line) to pollen parent was employed. Leaf cutter bees (Megachile rotundata F.) were used as the pollen vector between the two parents. In 1986, no significant differences in total seed yield were found among A-line rows, while in 1987, significant differences in total seed yields of A-line rows were found. Differences in hybrid seed yields among A-line rows were significant for all locations and years. Leaf cutter bees were found to be effective pollinators of the A-line plants. Less than half and less than a third of the seed produced on the A-line rows in 1986 and 1987, respectively, was hybrid seed. The high percentage of non-hybrid seed present in the seed lot may have been due to incomplete male sterility of the Marnoo A-line population. Total seed yields, hybrid seed yields and percent hybridity all declined linearly as distance from the pollen source increased. Improvement in the degree of male sterility of the Marnoo A-line population and/or a reduction in the 10:1 ratio of parents, and subsequent maximum A-line row to R-line row distance, will be necessary if hybrid summer rape seed production using this pol CMS A-line is to be commercially viable.Key words: Brassica napus L., CMS, hybrid, hybridity

Early maturity is a major objective of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) breeding programs in western Canada. Maturity of crops is influenced by time of initiation and flowering. The presence of a vernalization requirement affects plant development by delaying floral initiation until the cold requirement of the plant has been satisfied. Five spring oilseed rape cultivars were screened for their response to vernalization. Vernalization treatments consisted of exposure of germinated seeds to 0–42 d at 4 °C. Plants were assessed under a 20-h photoperiod. In general, there was a cumulative response to vernalization, with a decrease in days to each developmental stage as exposure to 4 °C was increased. Vernalization treatment of 6 d at 4 °C was sufficient to decrease both the days to first flower and the final leaf number. The characterization of vernalization response is of interest because variation in flowering time in response to year-to-year variations in the environment could result.
